The Straits Times, a privately owned company headquartered in Singapore, was founded in 1845 and employs approximately 140 individuals. The company specializes in newspaper publishing, functioning as a media company in Asia.
On September 23, 2026, The Straits Times partnered with SingPost to introduce Singapore's inaugural stamps featuring changing images, designed to depict nearly a century of the nation's postal history by transforming images of the modern Fullerton Hotel into the 1928 General Post Office and a contemporary postal worker into a mid-century postman. This launch follows a Reuters Institute Digital News Report published on June 16, 2026, which ranked The Straits Times as the third most-used online news source in Singapore. The report indicated that 44 percent of respondents accessed ST weekly, placing it behind CNA (47%) and Mothership (45%).
