Ming Pao Daily News (Chinese: 明報; pinyin: Míng Bào), or Ming Pao for short, is a Chinese language newspaper in Canada owned by the Ming Pao Group of Hong Kong.
Ming Pao in Canada has two editions. The Eastern edition (加東版; Jiā dōng bǎn) published in Toronto, Ontario was launched in May 1993 by then Chairman P.H. Yu, and competed in the local Chinese community with Sing Tao Daily and World Journal. The Toronto editorial offices are located in Agincourt. Shortly after in October 1993, the Western edition (加西版; Jiā xī bǎn) was launched in Vancouver, British Columbia.
With the seizures of Sing Tao Daily and World Journal, Ming Pao is currently the only Chinese language newspaper that publishes daily.
The paper is published 7 days a week in broadsheet format. News coverage include Canadian news (including national, provincial, city and community pages), international news, Hong Kong news, mainland China and Taiwan news, plus lifestyle, entertainment, and sports sections.
Magazines
From 1993-2019, the Canada Eastern edition of Ming Pao publishes several weekly magazines. Unlike the situation in Hong Kong where the magazines are sold as separate publications, these are more properly called supplements that come free with the paper. The pages inside the magazines are also printed on newsprint instead of glossy paper.
Since 2019, in response to increased demands, Ming Pao gradually revamped its business model and all magazines are sold individually. Free copy of Ming Pao's daily newspaper is offered as incentive with a subscription.
The magazines that come with the Canada Eastern edition are:
- Wednesday —Ming Pao Gourmet Supplement (樂在明廚), a tabloid-sized food magazine for everyone who loves cooking and eating.
- Thursday — Property Golden Pages (地產金頁), a tabloid-format publication resembling a small newspaper, containing mostly editorial content on the real estate market and home improvement with some property listings and other data.
- Friday — Healthy Living (健康生活), a tabloid-sized magazine that discusses trendy health and lifestyle issues.
- Saturday — Saturday Magazine (星期六周刊), a lifestyle-and-news magazine with substantial original local content
- Sunday — Ming Pao Weekly (明報加東周刊), a tabloid-sized entertainment magazine with content covering the latest gossips in Hong Kong and Canadian entertainment industry.
- Sunday — Zhōnghuá Tànsuǒ (中華探索, "Exploring China"), a magazine containing political criticism from Hong Kong's Ming Pao Magazine and Yazhou Zhoukan
From time to time, special supplements are also published.
