The first Chinese-language newspaper in Jamaica, the "Zhonghua Shang Bao" (中華商報), was founded in 1930 by Zheng Yongkang; five years later, it was taken over by the Chinese Benevolent Association, who renamed it "Huaqiao Gongbao" (華僑公報). It continued publication until 1956, and was revived in 1975. The Chinese Freemasons also published their own handwritten weekly newspaper, the "Minzhi Zhoukan" (民治周刊) until 1956. "The Pagoda", started in 1940, was the first English-language newspaper for the Chinese community. The local branch of the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party) also began publishing their own paper, "The Chung San News" (中山報) in 1953.
