Shanghai United Media Group (Chinese: 上海报业集团) is a state media company of the People's Republic of China, established on October 28, 2013, through the merger of the city's two largest newspaper groups, the Jiefang Daily Press Group and the Wenhui–Xinmin United Press Group. The media group is overseen by the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).[1]

The Jiefang Daily Press Group (Chinese: 解放日报报业集团) is a Chinese- and English-language media company based on the Jiefang Daily, an official daily newspaper of the Shanghai committee of the CCP. The Wenhui–Xinmin United Press Group (Chinese: 文汇新民联合报业集团, p Wénhuì–Xīnmín Liánhé Bàoyè Jítuán) is a Chinese- and English-language media company. It was established on July 25, 1998, by the merger of the Xinmin Evening News and the Wenhui Bao.[2][3] It is the parent company of the English-language Shanghai Daily and publishes foreign editions of its newspapers and magazines in 10 countries, including the United States and Australia.

In October 2020, the United States Department of State designated Jiefang Daily and Xinmin Evening News as foreign missions of the Chinese government.[4][5]

In June 2022, Shanghai United Media Group launched an “Integrated Media Studio Empowerment Plan” in concert with ByteDance and Tencent to develop domestic and foreign influencers.[6]
