History
Ming Pao was first published on May 20, 1959, and was founded by the famous Chinese wuxia novelist Louis Cha (simplified Chinese: 查良镛; traditional Chinese: 查良鏞), known better by his pseudonym Jinyong (金庸), and his friend, Shen Pao Sing (沈寶新). Daisy Li Yuet-Wah won an International Press Freedom Award from the Committee to Protect Journalists for her work with the paper in 1994.
Ming Pao was then taken over by Tan Sri Datuk TIONG Hiew King in 1995. Ming Pao now is published by Ming Pao Newspapers Limited, a subsidiary of Media Chinese International Limited, which was formed by the successful merger of Ming Pao Enterprise Corporation Limited (Hong Kong), Sin Chew Media Corporations Berhad (Malaysia) and Nanyang Press Holdings Berhad (Malaysia) in April 2008.
