Apple Daily (Traditional Chinese: 蘋果日報; Simplified Chinese: 苹果日报; pinyin: Píngguǒ Rìbaò) is a Hong-Kong-based newspaper that was founded by Jimmy Lai (Lai Chee Ying) in 1995 and is published by his company, Next Media. A sister publication carrying the same name is published in Taiwan under a joint venture in Taiwan between Next Media and other companies.
Apple Daily's main sections include "Local News", "Foreign News", "Finance", "Entertainment", "Sports" and "Others"—including technology, travel, eating, cooking, fashion and more provocative material generating much of its popularity and controversy. Apple Daily's popularity as Hong Kong's second best selling newspaper, according to AC Nielsen, is derived from its concentration on celebrity coverage, brash news style, and its extremely popular pro-democracy political positions.
[edit] Others
In September, 2003, veteran columnist To Kit (陶傑) joined the newspaper, and publishes his daily column "The Golden Adventure" (黃金冒險號) and a weekly editorial called "Sunday Rest" (星期日休息) at the newspaper.
