The Bando Shinmun was a weekly civilian newspaper in Korean started by Japanese(1919.5-1920.6). Despite the fact that it was produced in Japan, the daily vividly reported on the immediate aftermath of the March First Movement both at home and abroad, as well as other Korean independence efforts. On the occasion of the 104th anniversary of the March First Movement, the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History puts on public display for the first time The Bando Shinmun, the only remaining copy in Korea, in order to help people comprehend the significance of the March First Movement.
