This article is about the Hong Kong version of the newspaper. For the Taiwan version of the newspaper, see Apple Daily (Taiwan)
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 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, sensational and, at times, semi-fabricated news reportage, and its anti-government political positions. On the other hand, according to independent surveys, the credibility rating of this paper is very low.
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.
Popular food critic, travel writer and former movie producer Chua Lam writes a regular column for the newspaper.
Popular writer/doctor Au Lok Man also writes articles for the newspaper's leisure section on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
