Initium Media (Chinese: 端傳媒) is a Singapore-based Chinese-language digital media outlet. Launched in August 2015 in Hong Kong, the media moved its headquarters to Singapore in 2021.[3] Initium Media mainly provides in-depths news, opinions and lifestyle content with the aim of staking out neutral terrain among Chinese readers worldwide.[4]

Initium Media sourced its name from the writings of Mencius in which the word "" (Jyutping: dyun1, "beginning", or "initium" in Latin) is significant.[5][a]
