History of Oriental Morning Post

The Oriental Morning Post was founded on July 7, 2003 by the Shanghai Wenhui Xinmin Joint Newspaper Group.

The Chinese newspaper market experienced a period of rapid expansion in the 1980s. However, this expansion was accompanied by a dramatic increase in the number of newspapers with "soft" content, such as the wave of evening newspapers in the late 1980s and the wave of city newspapers in the mid-1990s. Particularly, some urban newspapers became more and more fancy in layout and more and more "soft" in content, with the proportion of political life news declining greatly, and entertainment and consumer content occupying a large amount of space, resulting in the phenomenon of "pan-entertainment" of news. And also as a comprehensive urban newspaper "Oriental Morning Post", proposed to do a Chinese "New York Times", in the form and content are reflected in a very different "serious" style.
