EspañolNEWSPAPERS OF HONG KONG
Below is a list of newspapers in Hong Kong, categorized by language.
★ ''South China Morning Post''
★ ''The Standard'' (formerly, HK-iMail, and earlier Hong Kong Standard)
★ ''The Sunday Examiner'' (Catholic)
★ ''China Daily Hong Kong Edition
★ ''CareerTimes''
The former two English publications are regarded as neutral towards the government and are mostly "serious" newspapers. ''The Standard'' now presents itself as a business paper, but also carries general news.
★ The regional English language newspaper ''The Wall Street Journal Asia'' is also published in Hong Kong. The asian edition of International Herald Tribune and Financial Times are available in the city.
★ ''Apple Daily'' (蘋果日報)
★ ''Hong Kong Commercial Daily'' (香港商報)
★ ''Hong Kong Daily News'' (新報)
★ ''Hong Kong Economic Journal'' (信報財經新聞)
★ ''Hong Kong Economic Times'' (香港經濟日報)
★ ''Kung Kao Po'' (公教報)
★ ''Ming Pao'' (明報)
★ ''Oriental Daily News'' (東方日報)
★ ''Sing Pao Daily News'' (成報)
★ ''Sing Tao Daily'' (星島日報)
★ ''The Sun'' (太陽報)
★ ''Ta Kung Pao'' (大公報)
★ ''Wen Wei Po'' (文匯報)
★ ''Hong Kong Daily News'' (新報)
''Ta Kung Pao'', ''Hong Kong Commercial Daily'', ''Sing Pao'', ''Sing Tao'' and ''Wen Wei Po'' are all considered pro-Beijing and pro-government; in contrast, ''Apple Daily'' often takes an anti-Beijing and pro-democracy stance. ''Oriental Daily'', ''Apple Daily'' and ''The Sun'' are known for their sensational style, often gory pictures (e.g. of road accidents or murder scenes), and frequent borderline obscene coverage (including "prostitution guides"). ''Ming Pao'' is considered a "serious" paper and is favoured by students. ''Hong Kong Economic Journal'' and ''Hong Kong Economic Times'' are business-oriented.

★ ''Express Post'' (快線周報)
★ ''Headline Daily'' (頭條日報)
★ ''The Epoch Times'' (大紀元時報)
★ ''Metropolis Daily'' (都市日報)
★ ''Sing Tao Evening News'' (1938-1996)
★ ''Eastern Express'' (1994-1996)
★ ''Hong Kong United Daily'' (1992-1995)
★ ''Television Daily'' ( - 1995)
★ ''Wah Kiu Yat Pao'' (1925-1995)
★ ''Hong Kong Today'' (1993-1994)
★ ''Hong Kong Times'' (1949-1994)
★ ''Ching Pao'' ( -1991)
★ ''The Star'' (1965-1984)
★ ''Tin Tin Daily News'' (天天日報) (1960-2000)
By a wide margin, the ''South China Morning Post'' is the most popular English newspaper. Among Cantonese newspapers, ''Oriental Daily'' and ''Apple Daily'' are the top sellers, while the ''Hong Kong Economic Times'' is the best-selling financial newspaper. According to independent surveys, ''Ming Pao'' and ''Economic Journal'' are the papers most trusted by local readers.
The fact that ''The Sun'' and ''Oriental Daily'' are among those with the highest circulation can be explained by their approach. Both use an informal style, concentrating on celebrity gossip and paparazzi photography, and written to some degree in colloquial Cantonese phrases. This style of writing, as in other markets, is popular with a large section of the public. The content is often exaggerated or outright fabricated in order to claim "exclusives". Although the subjects of these alleged falsehoods have tried to express their dissatifaction through actions such as refusing interviews or even suing the reporters, they have not succeeded in stopping the papers' activities.
The number of newspapers in the market has been stable for a long time. There are occasional attempts at establishing new types of newspaper and theme-oriented papers, but most of these new papers cannot compete with the "mainstream" papers.
Most papers sell for a fixed price of HKD$6, except the ''South China Morning Post'' ($7, while the Sunday edition costs $8). ''Metropolis Daily'', ''Headline Daily'', ''am730'', and ''The Epoch Times'' are free papers, distributed at MTR and KCR stations. ''The Sun'' has reduced its price to $3 from October 19 2005 onwards, supposedly for the purpose of competing with the free papers.
