... that the Xinwen Bao was first published during the Lunar New Year to take advantage of its competitors being on hiatus?

Source: Tsai, Weipin (2014). "The First Casualty: Truth, Lies and Commercial Opportunism in Chinese Newspapers during the First Sino-Japanese War". Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain & Ireland. 24: 145–163. doi:10.1017/S1356186313000515. "To make sure Xinwenbao would get off to a good start, Cai deliberately choose 17 February 1892, the first day of the Chinese New Year, to launch the first issue, when both Shenbao and Hubao had a three-day break, and people were hungry for news. "

ALT1: ... that the Xinwen Bao was one of the most widely circulated newspapers in the Republic of China? Source: Hung, Chang-tai (1994). War and Popular Culture: Resistance in Modern China, 1937–1945. Berkeley: University of California Press. ISBN 978-0-520-35486-9. "In 1933 both Shen bao (founded in 1872) and Xinwen bao (founded in 1893) had a daily circulation of 150,000, the largest in the country; two Tianjin newspapers—Dagong bao (L'Impartial, founded in 1902) and Social Welfare (Yishi bao, founded in 1915), a Catholic-sponsored journal—trailed distantly at 35,000 each. The rise of Shen bao and Xinwen bao as the circulation giants of modern Chinese journalism reaffirmed the growing importance of Shanghai as the financial and cultural center of China."

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article looks good. Nice work. A minor point: could you add a direct citation for the sentence The first edition was issued on 17 February 1893 – the Lunar New Year, a day when both the Hubao and its fellow major newspaper the Shen Bao were on hiatus – to comply with WP:DYK's requirement that The facts of the hook need to appear in the article with a citation no later than at the end of the sentences in which they appear? Everything else looks good. Preference for the initial hook. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:23, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
