Nanfang Daily
The Nanfang Daily (traditional Chinese: 南方日報; simplified Chinese: 南方日报; pinyin: Nánfāng rìbào), also known as Southern Daily[1] and Nanfang Ribao,[2] is the official newspaper of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.[3] HistoryThe paper was established in Guangzhou on 23 October 1949.[4] Eight days prior, Ye Jianying arrived in Guangzhou, surrounded and disarmed all speculators, and arrested more than ten journalists for re-education.[5] The premises and equipment of the Kuomintang's Central Daily were immediately seized and taken over. The paper was changed to Nanfang Daily, first published on 23 October.[6] The newspaper is eponymous to the more lively and commercial Southern Metropolis Daily and part of the giant Nanfang Daily Newspaper Group.[7] In March 2018, Nanfang Daily won the Third National Top 100 Newspapers in China. An article from Brown University pointed out that Nanfang Daily has superior reporting and a somewhat higher level of frankness than many mainstream press outlets in China.[8] See also
