Today Daily News (Chinese: 現代日報; pinyin: Xiàndài Rìbào) is a Chinese language newspaper in Canada, launched on November 1, 2005. It is published by Today Daily News International in Scarborough.
It is called the Canada Eastern Edition (加東版 Pinyin: jiā dōng bǎn) even though it is the only edition published at the moment.
The paper is published 7 days a week in traditional Chinese in the broadsheet format. News coverage includes headline news, news at the metro and national levels, news from Greater China, Chinese community news, international news, entertainment, financial news, sports, and supplements.
The paper does not own its own printing press; printing is being contracted out to a printer.
Compared with the other three main Chinese newspapers, the reporting style of Today Daily News is relatively sensationalist. The reporting style seems to be approximately comparable to the Toronto Sun, but not as sensationalist as the likes of Apple Daily or the Hong Kong Sun.
In 2008, Toronto Sun acquired a 50% stake in the paper.
Today Daily News was also published online on the world wide web but the old domain address no longer works. Web searches for its Chinese name lead to Today Commercial News which opens to a landing page of several Chinese publications, none of them called Today Daily News.
The online version contained an exact copy of the day’s newspaper; back issues were online for 7 days. Access was free of charge.
