History
TODAY was launched on 10 November 2000, as a rival to Streats, an English-language freesheet published by the Singapore Press Holdings (SPH). Then, TODAY was available only on weekdays. On 27 April 2002, a Saturday edition, Weekend TODAY, was launched. This provided readers with a leisurely read while keeping pace with what's happening in the world around them.
In 2004, Streats was merged into the newspaper as a result of SPH and MediaCorp merging their television and free-newspaper operations.
On 29 May 2011, a TODAY on Sunday edition was launched, making it the second most-read daily national newspaper.
On May 28, 2012, TODAY rebranded its print edition with a bold new logo, more intuitive content, and a wider range of views.
TODAY Online
In addition to the print version of the newspaper, TODAY Online is an application which allows readers to read the newspaper online as they do in print. It also allows for the downloading of the digital version as a PDF document.[1]
Suspension of mrbrown column
On 6 July 2006, the newspaper 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.[2]
