During the Cultural Revolution, the "People's Daily" was one of the few sources of information from which either foreigners or Chinese could figure out what the Chinese government was doing or planning to do. During this period, an editorial in the "People's Daily" would be considered an authoritative statement of government policy, was studied and reproduced nationwide, and analyzed globally for insight into the Party's plans. The most important editorials were jointly published by "People's Daily", "People's Liberation Army Daily" and "Red Flag", from 1967 to 1978, so called "Two newspapers and one journal" (), directly representing the highest voice of Chinese Communist Party.
