Today (Chinese: 今日报) is a free English-language tabloid in Singapore published by government-owned Mediacorp Press. It is distributed from Monday to Friday with a weekend Edition on Saturday. It also has a website where a PDF copy of their newspaper can be downloaded.
A compact newspaper with quality content that is distributed free in Singapore, Today was launched in November 2000. TODAY has established a reputation for sharply-angled news reports and thought-provoking analyses and commentaries, living up to its slogan "We set you thinking". The paper's news-comment columns - written by staff and a wide range of contributors, covering both local and global issues - are a particular strength.
TODAY's daily readership is around 550,000, with more than half its readers being professionals, managers, executives, and business people. The paper is distributed to selected homes, and is also available at MRT stations, bus interchanges, selected food and beverage outlets, shopping malls and other public areas.
It was launched on 10 November 2000, as a rival to Streats, another free tabloid published by Singapore Press Holdings. Initially, it was available only on weekdays. On 27 April 2002, a weekend version of the tabloid, Weekend Today, was launched, which is available on Saturdays. Weekend Today was developed as a longer and leisurely read for the weekends, is distributed to more than 150,000 homes and available free-of-charge at the usual distribution outlets.
In 2004, Streats was merged into Today as a result of SPH and MediaCorp merging their television and free newspaper operations.
On July 6, 2006, Today suspended a weekly opinion column by Lee Kin Mun (alias: mr brown) after the government criticised an article he wrote in his column discussing the rising cost of living in Singapore. [1]
