's oldest and highest paid-circulation English-language
daily newspaper

residents, while the remainder are expatriates and tourists. The newspaper also is keen to promote multicultural tolerance and understanding, as well as Macau's unique tangible and intangible cultural heritage.

and overseas. Subscriptions account for about half of the newspaper's circulation.
The newspaper, which is headed by veteran Macau correspondent Harald Bruning, routinely offers internships to students from Macau, mainland China, Taiwan and elsewhere.
