China Daily
Scholars have described "China Daily" as effectively controlled by the Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party. Ideologically, it tends to adopt similar perspectives to the "People's Daily". According to its 2014 annual report, "China Daily" is formally managed by the State Council Information Office (SCIO), which was formed from the Propaganda Department in 1991. The SCIO holds regular meetings with journalists and editors from "China Daily" on what they should publish. A former copy-editor (or "polisher" as termed at "China Daily") for the newspaper described her role being "to tweak propaganda enough that it read as English, without inadvertently triggering war."
