Oriental Daily News is a Chinese-language newspaper in Hong Kong. It was established in 1969 by Ma Sik-yu and Ma Sik-chun, and was one of the two newspapers published by the Oriental Press Group Limited (Chinese: 東方報業集團有限公司). Relative to other Hong Kong newspapers, Oriental Daily News has an older readership.[citation needed]

History[edit]

The paper has been number one in circulation since 1976.[citation needed] Apple Daily was its main competitor.[citation needed] The newspaper's website was started in February 2002, and includes e-paper versions of Oriental Daily. The whole printed version is uploaded onto the web allowing people from all over the world to read.[1]

Content[edit]

It has two editorials every day. The first one is called the 'Main Editorial' (正論), which is a typical newspaper editorial.[2] The second one is called 'Kung Fu Tea' (功夫茶), which is written in the vernacular form of Cantonese, and is a daily critique of the misfits of the bureaucracy.[3]
