pinyin : Liánhé Bào) is anewspaper published in theRepublic of China in both traditional andSimplified chinese . It is one of the three biggest newspapers in Taiwan, the other two being the "China Times " and the "Liberty Times ".UDN was founded in 1951 by Wang Tiwu (王惕吾) as a merger of three newspapers, Popular Daily (全民日報), National (民族報), and the Economic Times (經濟時報). The three newspapers formally merged in 1953.
In terms of political orientation, UDN is supposedly
Pan-Blue .UDN was and to some extent still is a place to publish literature in the Lianhe
Fukan literary supplement .In terms of editorial style and standards, UDN is the most literary of Taiwan's newspapers; the Chinese used is
baihua vernacular but heavily incorporating usages from classicalwenyan Chinese. Once praised for its high standards, UDN has faced stiff competition in recent years, resulting in lowered readership and less money available for proof-reading.UDN has spawned a group of newspapers, including UDN evening edition and UDN international edition.
The publisher is now Wang Tiwu's daughter,
Shaw-Lan Wang . (王效蘭).General editors over the years:
