Macau Post Daily
Open-knowledge reference entry
The Macau Post Daily (Chinese: 澳門郵報) (sometimes abbreviated to MPD) was launched on August 27, 2004, and is Macau's oldest and highest paid-circulation English-language daily newspaper.
The Macau Post Daily is a compact newspaper, i.e., a broadsheet-quality newspaper printed in a tabloid format.
History
It is owned by Macau Cultural Box Ltd, a publishing company set up by a group of local journalists, and printed by Welfare Printing Ltd, with offices in a downtown commercial centre on Rua dos Mercadores. The newspaper, whose print edition is published on weekdays, is independent of non-media business interests and emphasizes its "equidistance" towards Macau's six gaming companies.
Content
The paper was launched to provide Macau with an independent English-language daily that caters for all its different communities interested in reading news in the world's "universal language," not just expatriates. About half of the daily's readership are local Chinese, Portuguese and Macanese permanent residents, while the remainder are visitors, scholars, consultants, diplomats and others. The newspaper's coverage is based on the principles of professional journalism, i.e., separating news and opinion, following the "5Ws" guideline, attributing sources and captioning and crediting news photos and other images. It is also focused on highlighting the importance of multicultural tolerance and understanding, as well as Macau's unique tangible and intangible cultural heritage. According to its founding editorial, the newspaper adheres to the "One China" and "One Country, Two Systems" principles.
The Macau Post Daily is perhaps the world's first newspaper whose masthead lists its staff, printer, wire services (AFP and Xinhua), and company details alongside the AI tools (DeepSeek and Gemini) used for proofreading and referencing.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Macau Post Daily”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6722711. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2004.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
