Rengo Shinbun

The Rengo Shinbun (聯合新聞, "Combined Newspaper") is one of the major newspapers in Yamatai, published by the Yamatai News Alliance Group, which was formed in 1972 to oppose continued market dominance by the government-assisted Akagi Shinbun. The Rengo Shinbun is printed twice a day in several local editions. It also operates foreign-language news websites and publishes a bilingual news magazine, Rengo Weekly, in Yashiman and Yeongseonin, as well as paperbacks, books, and other magazines, including a weekly news magazine, Nichiyobi Rengo.

It is one of the four largest newspapers in Yamatai, and has the second-largest circulation, behind the Akagi Shinbun. However, public trust in the Rengo Shinbun has been surveyed to be the highest in Yamatai. Its efforts through the 2010s to move onto online platforms has also led to the Rengo Shinbun claiming a large share of the online news market ahead of their chief competitors.
