Unconsciously, at the end of the year, I became the responsible editor of "Chinese Media Space" for nearly a year, watched hundreds of Chinese media and compiled hundreds of news. I’ve been asking, "Do Chinese newspapers have a future?"
Why is there a future? I once saw in SHOPPERS, a famous supermarket chain in Toronto, Canada, that dozens of Chinese-language newspapers, Ming Pao, were already on the shelves at 8 am on weekdays. In addition, Ocean Daily and Ocean Times, well-known Chinese media in Australia, began to retail in Woolworths, one of Australia’s largest food retail chains, in 2012 after months of difficult negotiations and strict examination. This is the first time that a large Australian retailer has accepted Chinese media. In the United States, Canada and Australia, countries where Chinese immigrants are keen, Chinese newspapers have gradually merged into the mainstream.
However, it cannot be ignored that overseas Chinese are used to the opening and closing of overseas Chinese newspapers. Compared with Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets and Chinese travel agencies in Chinatown, are Chinese newspapers indispensable to Chinese life? To this end, I asked many Chinese who have lived overseas for a long time, will you buy Chinese newspapers out of your own pocket? More than 90% of the answers are no, because when you go to Chinatown for dinner and shopping every week, you can bring back countless free Chinese newspapers. It seems that whether Chinese media is free or not, the prospects may be different.
Do Chinese newspapers have a future? Chinese, especially the old Chinese who have lived abroad for a long time, all agree that Chinese newspapers have a future, but they must rely on the strength of Chinese society and China. With the economic development of China in recent years, the rapid development of Chinese media in the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries is a good embodiment. In recent years, in order to keep news timely and sufficient, Chinese newspapers have set up websites one after another; In order to attract more readers, Chinese newspapers are bilingual; In order to make the mainstream society pay attention to it, Chinese newspapers defend the rights of Chinese and report mainstream social news. Chinese people have seen the courage and determination of Chinese newspapers to create the future.
