Macau Daily News (澳門日報), founded in 1958, is a Chinese-language daily newspaper based in Macao that describes itself as “patriotic and Macau-loving media” relying on the “motherland,” referring to the People’s Republic of China. The newspaper covers local Macao news, Greater Bay Area(GBA) developments — referring to the Chinese government’s plan to integrate Hong Kong and Macau with the Pearl River Delta region — and mainland China affairs. Reporting tends to emphasize positive coverage of government policies, economic development, and cooperation between Macao and China. It has presence across multiple social media platforms, including Weibo, Facebook, Instagram, and WeChat, extending its reach to both mainland and international Chinese-speaking audiences. The outlet receives substantial funding from both the Macao SAR Government and through advertising contracts and direct subsidies. The publication maintains cooperative ties with PRC state media, including China News Service (中國新聞社), which operates under the CCP’s United Front Work Department. Macau Daily News shares the CNS mission to “tell China’s story and rally people’s hearts at home and abroad” (講好中國故事，凝聚海內外民心). The publication received visits from senior Communist Party officials, including United Front Work Department Vice Minister Tan Tianxing (譚天星), in May 2018. The officials thanked the outlet for its role in propaganda work.  Current president Lu Bo (陸波) serves as a National People’s Congress representative and maintains close ties with the Party leadership. Founder Li Chengjun (李成俊) served as an editor for a pro-Communist unit during World War II, handling anti-Japanese propaganda.
