Sing Tao Media Group (Canada) (Chinese: 加拿大星島傳媒集團), or STMG for short, is a Chinese language media group based in Toronto, Ontario. It offers digital and social media marketing, radio broadcasting, magazine publishing, events management and e-commerce to Chinese Canadians, the second largest ethnic group in Canada.
The media brand began in Canada in 1978 as a Hong Kong-owned Chinese language newspaper. At a time, it published the largest Chinese-language newspaper in Canada, with print editions in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary. In a pivot to digital media, the print editions ceased publication on August 28, 2022. Today, it is the largest Chinese media group in Canada, reaching a community of 1.7 million nationwide.
Since 2023, it is jointly owned by a private Canadian corporation and the Hong Kong–based Sing Tao News Corporation. Previously, between 1998 and 2023, it was jointly owned by Torstar Corporation and Sing Tao News Corporation.
The current CEO of the company is Anson Wong, who succeeded the retiring Calvin Wong in April 2023.
Sing Tao's was connected to the Toronto Star through Andrew V. Go, former Star vice president for business ventures. Go's father, Go Puan Seng, was the publisher of The Fookien Times, then the Philippines' largest Chinese-language newspaper which also published the Philippine edition of the Sing Tao, and was a family friend of then Sing Tao Group's Sally Aw.
