報社簡介

Introduction

青年日報（Youth Daily News）為中華民國政府發行的官方報紙。民國41年，國防部總政治作戰部為武裝官兵思想、強化精神戰力，期團結文武青年完成革命任務，決定創辦青年戰士報。經半年之籌備規劃，於41年10月10日，創刊於臺北市，報紙篇幅為四開一張小型報，僅對軍中發行。為擴大文宣成效，於73年10月10日奉令更名為青年日報。

為宣揚國軍文宣工作，本社除肩負一般媒體新聞報導責任外，亦著重報導政府與國防新聞，透過報紙、青年日報網站、Facebook、Flickr、YouTube及APP等媒體，即時傳播國軍戰備訓練及全民國防等活動訊息，轉型為數位化國軍新聞專業單位。

整合國軍文宣服務，民國86年7月1日本社納編新中國出版社，專責奮鬥、勝利之光、吾愛吾家三刊編印、網路電子書城授權及數位文創品創意設計任務，成為兼具發行報紙、期刊及專書之國軍文宣單位。107年1月1日勝利之光併入吾愛吾家，成為雙月刊。

新中國出版社在抗戰期間原名為「青年軍出版社」，隸屬軍事委員會；抗戰勝利後，由新聞局接管易名為「新中國出版社」。當時主要工作為出版「建國青年半月刊」、「文化情報週刊」、「軍中文摘」及「中國畫報」等刊物，前兩種並兼對社會發行。

The Youth Daily News is a newspaper published by the Government of the Republic of China. Back in 1952, the General Political Warfare Department decided to found the Youth Warrior Daily for arming servicemen’s thought and enhancing strength of faith as a means to unify young civilians and soldiers and complete revolutionary missions. After a half-year preparation, it started publication on October 10, 1952. The Youth Warrior Daily was an internal newspaper, with a quarter-cut paper, only published in the military. In order to improve its informational impact, the Youth Warrior Daily was renamed as the Youth Daily News on October 10, 1984.

As a platform for promoting military information efforts, besides those ordinary news report similar to other media counterparts, the Youth Daily News focused on governmental and defense-related news. Through newspapers, YDN website, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and APP, the Youth Daily News can broadcast information of military readiness & training, all-out defense events and other activities in a real-time basis after it was transformed as a digitized professional military journalistic organization.

To integrated our military informational services, the Youth Daily News merged New China Publisher and began to manage Endeavor, Victorious, Home, Sweet Home periodical journals, internet E-book authorization and digitalized creative art work design. The YDN since became a multi-purpose military information organization. On January 1, 2018, Home & Sweet Home journal merged Victorious magazine and re-arranged as a bimonthly journal.

New China Publisher was former Youth Army Publisher during the War of Resistance against Japan, which was under Central Military Committee. After the Great Victory of War against Japan, the Government Information Office took over Youth Army Publisher and renamed it as New China Publisher, which was responsible for publishing several journals including Nation-Construction Youth fortnightly, Cultural Intelligence weekly, Military Digest and Chinese Pictorial. The first two journals were also available for the public.
