UDN was founded in 1951 by Wang Tiwu as a merger of three newspapers, Popular Daily (全民日報), National (民族報), and the Economic Times (經濟時報). The three newspapers formally merged in 1953. In terms of political orientation, the UDN is strongly Pan-Blue. Before Taiwan democratized, it was an opponent of political reform; in the years since Taiwan has democratized, it has advocated policies leading to an incorporation of Taiwan within China.

UDN was and to some extent still is a place to publish literature in the Lianhe Fukan literary supplement.

In terms of editorial style and standards, UDN is one of the most literary of Taiwan’s newspapers; the Chinese used is baihua vernacular but heavily incorporating usages from classical wenyan Chinese. Once praised for its high standards, UDN has faced stiff competition in recent years, resulting in lowered readership and less money available for proof-reading.

UDN has spawned a group of newspapers, including UDN evening edition and UDN international edition, including an American edition published with the Chinese-American audience in mind.

UDN has published The New York Times International Weekly on Mondays since 2004. This 8-page supplement features a selection of English language articles from The New York Times.

The China News was established in Taiwan in 1949. At that time, the China News was published in the afternoon. Its first competitor, The China Post, appeared in 1952 and was published in the morning. In order to stay competitive, the China News moved to a morning publication schedule in order not to lose its advertisements.

Its name was changed to Taiwan News after I-Mei, a food manufacturing group purchased it from Simone Wei in 1999. Since coming under the ownership of the I-Mei Group the editorial policy of the Taiwan News has been in favour of the Pan-Green coalition. On 1 January 2008, the Taiwan News started publishing in a tabloid format replacing the old broadsheet style. On 27 September 2010 Taiwan News President Jack Wong announced that the Taiwan News would cease publishing a print edition and only be available online. The final print edition of the Taiwan News was published on 30 September 2010.
