The Hong Kong Toyo Keizai Shimpo (香港東洋経済新報), started in June 1944 and had been issue until the 8th volume was a journal edited and published by Hong Kong Toyo Keizai-sha, a local subsidiary of Toyo Keizai Shimpo-sha. It was the Office of the Governor-General, Hong Kong Occupied Territory which supported Hong Kong Toyo Keizai-sha to publish The Hong Kong Toyo Keizai Shimpo, since the officials especially Governor-General Lieutenant General Isogai Rensuke (磯谷廉介) required the journal to take a role as an organ for propaganda efforts. On the other hand, the publisher tried to collect information about mainland of China and Southeast Asia as well as Hong Kong to report an actual figure and the truth of the area. In this paper we examined an editorial note of The Hong Kong Toyo Keizai Shimpo entitled with “Henshusitu-yori” (編輯室より, literally “From the Editorial Office”) respectively. In this way we demonstrated characteristics of the journal and sensitive conflicts between an official task and an editorial policy, sponsorʼs requirements versus editorʼs ideal.
