You should not be putting other newspapers here... put them into the "Newspapers of Hong Kong" page. ( Fuzheado 17:14 15 Jul 2003 (UTC))
Agree with Fusheado!!!
Also, the description about "popular" or not is a bit subjective..........

Is its name The Apple Daily or Apple Daily? If the is in the title then it has to be in the title here, eg
The Irish Times,
Irish Independent.

As for "corporate logo" concerns, the flag of a newspaper (ie. the newspaper name/logo seen on the print publication) seems a legitimate addition. One, it is not blatant advertising and 2) does provide a function since not everyone can read Chinese. So it at least shows the title in Chinese and the colorful look of the paper, which it is famous for. ( Fuzheado)
I dont believe it is a copyright violation to use a corporate logo when describing or referring to the corporation. Certainly, if a corporation complains we can remove the offending image. Pizza Puzzle
Hong Kong doesn't have jurisdiction over the wikipedia anyways. Pizza Puzzle
If Apple Daily has an issue, they can feel free to contact the wikipedia. Pizza Puzzle
In this instance, no newspaper on earth unless run by imbeciles would ligitate, or be anything other than happy that they are getting coverage in a massive internationally read encyclopædia. . Wikipedia is a non-profit organisation that it not abusing the image but is simply giving the newspaper worldwide free publicity of the sort that would cost tens of millions if it had to be bought, by providing an article accompanied by a logo. Any media organisation stupid enough to take offence and treaten court action would face a public relations calamity. Anybody in PR would tell you that their advice to the company in question would be "don't be idiots". If they made an issue of it, they would open themselves up to ridicule with every rival publication and probably get themselves international coverage that would do them horrendous damage. I have worked in public relations and anyone who has would tell you that the advice would be not only not to sue, but to say "thanks for the article. Here is a better image of our logo and as much factual information as you need. Anytime you need more, call me that this number. Thank you very very much for the coverage." For they would know that the coverage would increase readership from visitor readership from people who had seen the article and then saw the newspaper and had the potential to increase native readership among those who had never bothered to pick up a copy before but might just having read about it.
I write for a number of newspapers. One of them, when they discovered they were on wiki, were not merely happy; it was mentioned at the editorial conference, with the deputy editor informing people "we have made it into a major net encyclopædia". When they discovered I contributed they offered access to any of their photographs, but as they could not release them under the GNU licence that offer could not be accepted.
The logo in this case is a clear case of fair use and any publishing house would be stark raving mad to take offence because of the positive benefits that could flow from the recognition, and the massive ridicule and damage that could result if they were insane enough to complain. Media companies more than almost anything else rely on their reputation in the business and unless run by absolute imbeciles would run a mile from making themselves a laughing stock in the industry by complaining about getting worldwide free coverage in one of the net's biggest encyclopædias. In fact any newspaper group I have dealt with would pay and pay handsomely to get an entry into a world wide publication. Your worries, David, are groundless. And as Pizza said, if they were stupid enough to complain, the image could be pulled in an instant. FearÉIREANN 03:49 18 Jul 2003 (UTC)

If you live in Hong Kong, then you certainly know Apple Daily is one the top 3 best selling newspaper. I have found someone labelled it as tabloid. It is tabloid-style, but not tabloid. The definition of tabloid is a small newspaper company, and I daresay Apple Daily doesn't fall into the tabloid category. OhanaUnited Talk page 07:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
These days, when someone calls a newspaper tabloid, they're not necessarily referring to its format, but its content. Tabloid papers tend be sensationalist and lack journalistic integrity and that is what is usually meant when labelling a paper tabloid. Herbert Xu 13:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
I've changed the romanisation from Mandarin (Pinyin) to Cantonese (Yale). This is a Hong Kong newspaper so the Mandarin pronunciation is fairly irrelevant. (For those not familiar with the Chinese language situation, it would be like giving the British English pronounciation for Barstow,_California at the top of its wikipedia page). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.139.235 ( talk) 21:45, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Tabloid or not, it should read "tabloid (or newspaper) writen / typeset in Traditional Chinese script." Most people with no background knowledge will think that "Traditional Chinese" is a language, when it's not.

As a Hong Konger, Apple Daily has proven to have a ton of fake news trying to destroy the governments reputation. Should I show examples and should this information even be mentioned? I'm new to this. 182.239.117.149 ( talk) 08:52, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
After the site was shut down, it was bought by a Serbian DJ/blogger who turned it into a sit with AI-generated material. (according to Wired and NPR) Kdammers ( talk) 17:21, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
It is inappropriate to put "alt-right" in infobox. Just because some regressive liberals in the U.S. or the U.K. advocate for Islamists, they do not consider them "Islamists". The fact that Apple Daily advocates for Trump and uses racist rhetoric about the Chinese does not mean that they are "alt-right". Apple Daily is referred to by many sources as China's "liberal" media. ProKMT ( talk) 07:57, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
