Why Ming Pao Works for Investors and High-Net-Worth Readers
Media Intelligence: Reaching Investors and High-Net-Worth Readers in Hong Kong
Why Ming Pao Matters in Hong Kong
Ming Pao was first published on 20 May 1959 and is written in Traditional Chinese characters. It is one of Hong Kong's established Chinese-language dailies, and its website, set up in 1995, was among the earliest newspaper sites in the city.
A 2022 survey of 994 Hong Kong households by the Chinese University of Hong Kong ranked it the second most credible paid newspaper in the city. That is a credibility ranking rather than a circulation figure, but it explains why premium advertisers value the title.
What the Published Data Says About the Audience
- Credibility ranking. Second most credible paid newspaper in Hong Kong (Chinese University of Hong Kong survey of 994 households, 2022). This is a category ranking, not a readership count.
- Language. Written in Traditional Chinese, the written standard for Hong Kong readers.
- Online presence. Website launched in 1995, one of the earliest newspaper sites in Hong Kong.
- Reader type. In our planning view, readers are educated professionals, business people and investors in Chinese-reading Hong Kong.
A Media Planner's View: Where to Place
Use Ming Pao to reach Chinese-reading professionals, business people and affluent households in Hong Kong. Print suits premium, property, education and financial services messages, where reader trust adds weight to the advertiser.
Pair print with the website for frequency and add an English-language daily when the campaign must also reach international readers. Our team sequences the plan around property launches, results periods and major Hong Kong business and cultural events.
