World Journal (Chinese: ; pinyin: Shìjiè Rìbào) is a daily Chinese language newspaper published in North America. It is the largest Chinese language newspaper in the United States and one of the largest Chinese language newspapers outside of China, with a daily circulation of 350,000. The newspaper is headquartered in the Whitestone neighborhood of Queens in New York City.
World Journal is published in major cities in the United States with large overseas Chinese populations including New York as well as Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. The publication is widely sold in many Chinatowns and major suburbs. Subscription is available in the United States and Canada.
The newspaper began on February 12, 1976. Originally its headquarters were in Chinatown, Manhattan in New York City. The headquarters relocated to nearby Whitestone, Queens in 1980, where it has since remained.
The World Journal has the largest circulation among a Chinese American and Chinese Canadian readership. The publication is owned by the same media conglomerate that runs the United Daily News in Taiwan and carries a significant Taiwanese American administrative presence. Until the mid-1990s, it was viewed as very hostile to the People's Republic of China, in part because the paper referred to people from mainland China as "Communist Chinese". Furthermore, its coverage on mainland China usually comprised only one article or so each day out of dozens of pages and sections.
