DigiTimes

DigiTimes (Chinese: 電子時報; pinyin: Diànzǐ shíbào, stylized DIGITIMES) is a daily industry newspaper from Taiwan. Since its inception on April 17th, 1998,[1] by DIGITIMES Inc., headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, it has emerged as a source of information for the semiconductor, electronics, and communications sectors, along with the global ICT supply chain, particularly focusing on Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and China. However, its scope has expanded to include South Asia and Southeast Asia since 2016, in light of the emergence of the new trend of supply chain diversification. As one of the earliest publications dedicated to technology within the Chinese-speaking domain, DIGITIMES ranks alongside contemporaries like the Economic Daily News and the Commercial Times. Cited by media outlets and technology blogs like CNN,[2] ZDNet,[3] Los Angeles Times,[4] Laptop Magazine,[5] Cnet,[6] and others.[7][8][9]

DigiTimes Inc. encompasses a daily printed newspaper in traditional Chinese, as well as Chinese and English websites. Notably, in 2021, the company rebranded its English website as DIGITIMES Asia. Under the umbrella of DigiTimes Inc., the brand includes DigiTimes, DigiTimes Asia, DigiTimes Research, and IC Broadcasting.[10][11]

In Taiwan, the company claims to have over 1,300 member companies and offers various levels of membership, which allow members access to its news archive, preferential booking for events, and, for the higher levels of membership, access to DigiTimes Research reports.[12][13][14]

The formation of DigiTimes Inc. was founded by influential figures within Taiwan's IT and semiconductor sectors, including such as Stan Shih, the founder of Acer Group, Matthew F.C. Miau, the chairman of MiTAC Group, Kenneth Tai, the chairman of InveStar Capital Inc., Morris Chang, the former CEO of TSMC, Hu Ding-Hua, the former Vice President of ITRI, and Evans Tu, the Group President of SYNNEX, among others. Their collective involvement, alongside that of nearly 50 industry stakeholders, culminated in the establishment of DigiTimes Inc., with Colley Hwang, former CEO of ITRI Market Intelligence Center (MIC),[15] as CEO of DigiTimes Inc.

Despite criticism levied against DigiTimes for purportedly furnishing unreliable and untrustworthy reporting, it is pertinent to note that the publication remains a source frequently referenced by major media entities worldwide in their latest news articles, such as The New York Times and Financial Times.[16][17][18][19][20]
