History
The roots of the Nikkei started with an in-house newspaper department of Mitsui & Company in 1876 when it started publication of ''Chugai Bukka Shimpo'' (literally ''Domestic and Foreign Commodity Price Newspaper''), a weekly market-quotation bulletin. The department was spun out as the ''Shokyosha'' in 1882. The paper became daily (except Sunday) in 1885 and was renamed ''Chugai Shōgyō Shimpo'' in 1889. It was merged with ''Nikkan Kōgyō'' and ''Keizai Jiji'' and renamed ''Nihon Sangyō Keizai Shimbun'' in 1942. The paper changed its name to the ''Nihon Keizai Shimbun'' in 1946.Criticism
