Wen Hui Bao Newspaper Information

Wenhui Bao is a major Chinese daily newspaper, published in Shanghai. Wenhui Bao was founded in Shanghai in 1938 by leftist leaning intellectuals centred around writer and journalist Ke Ling. Over the next decade it was closed down twice for its political leanings.

In the 1980s, Wenhui Bao re-emerged as an intellectually stimulating and widely read paper with a circulation of 1.8 million. In 1998, in a wave of creating press groups backed by the government, Wenhui Bao and Xinmin Wanbao were merged into the Wenhui-Xinmin United Press Group, which was the second largest press group in China after Guangzhou Daily Press Group in terms of advertisement revenues. In the recent years, this position has been challenged by newcomers.
