Apple Daily (Chinese: 蘋果日報) was a Chinese-language tabloid published in Hong Kong from 1995 to 2021,[2][3] with a digital-only English edition launched in May, 2020.[4] Founded by Jimmy Lai and part of Next Media, Apple Daily was known for its sensational headlines, paparazzi photographs and pro-democracy, anti-CCP editorial position. A sister publication of the same name was published in Taiwan under a joint venture between Next Digital and other Taiwanese companies.
In a Reuters Institute poll conducted in early 2021, Apple Daily was the fourth most-used offline source of news in Hong Kong, while its website was the second most-used among online news media in the city.[5] According to a survey conducted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Apple Daily was the third most trusted paid newspaper in 2019.[6]
Apple Daily's editorial position favoring the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong made it a subject of advertising boycotts and political pressure. After the controversial Hong Kong national security law was enacted, police raided its headquarters on 10 August 2020, a police operation criticized by some democratic governments and press rights groups.[7]
On 17 June 2021, Hong Kong authorities used the Hong Kong national security law to freeze the assets of the company and Jimmy Lai.[8][9] This move was widely described as an attack on press freedom.[10][11][12] As a result of the asset freeze, Apple Daily was unable to pay wages and electricity bills,[13] and had to cease operations. The final print edition was published on 24 June, with over a million copies being printed, up from the usual 80,000, and the newspaper's supporters lined up in queues stretching hundreds of meters in order to buy them.[14][15] The newspaper's main and supplementary YouTube channel, "Fruit Seed", also shut down at midnight on the same day.
