           In recent years, the traditional mass media, e.g. newspapers, magazines, want to expand their influence. They gradually build up their own websites, especially new forms of media publishing. For example, the second largest Chinese newspaper (in circulation) in Hong Kong, Apply Daily which was founded in 1995 and built up online website in 1998 (source from Wikipedia).

           Although Apply Daily publishes newspapers in printed format every day, the newspaper has so much updated news on their website. In their website, they keep record for the past several years’ news. Also, they make so many cartoon videos to enhance the news’ description. Many of the cartoon videos are uploaded in Youtube to increase the influence of news report. Furthermore, Apply Daily let readers give comment to their news report. So, Apple Daily may have more influence than other newspapers.


          Other newspapers are also similar with Apple Daily to upload past news report and let readers give comment.
