Sing Tao Daily (Canada)

Sing Tao Media Group (Canada) (Chinese: 加拿大星島傳媒集團), or Sing Tao (Chinese: 星島; pinyin: Xīngdǎo) for short, is a Chinese language media group based in Toronto, Ontario. It offers digital and social media marketing, radio broadcasting, magazine publishing, events management and e-commerce to Chinese-Canadians, the second largest ethnic group in Canada.

The media brand began in Canada in 1978 as a Hong Kong-owned Chinese language newspaper. Today, it is the largest Chinese media group in Canada, reaching a community of 1.7 million nationwide.

Since 2023, it is jointly owned by a private Canadian corporation and the Hong Kong–based Sing Tao News Corporation. Previously, between 1998 and 2023, it was jointly owned by Torstar Corporation and Sing Tao News Corporation.

The company underwent a rebranding in Fall 2023, changing its operating name from Sing Tao Daily (Canada) to STMG to reflect how the company has been adapting to the changing media landscape, evolving from one daily newspaper to a diverse platform comprising digital, social, radio, print, experiential marketing, e-commerce and more.

The current CEO of the company is Anson Wong, who succeeded the retiring Calvin Wong in April 2023.

Sing Tao's was connected to the Toronto Star through Andrew V. Go, former Star vice president for business ventures. Go's father, Go Puan Seng, was the publisher of The Fookien Times, then the Philippines' largest Chinese-language newspaper which also published the Philippine edition of the Sing Tao, and was a family friend of then Sing Tao Group's Sally Aw.

According to former editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Victor Ho, and Jonathan Manthorpe, author of Claws of the Panda, the newspaper's editorial stance is pro-Beijing. However, it has since been clarified that the company is editorially independent.
