Perspective
Jiefang Daily (Liberation Daily) was published in Yan'an beginning on 16 May 1941.[1]: 25 It published the famous editorial Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China.[2]: 68, 110 Mao Zedong provided regular instruction for the paper's operations and also contributed articles and essays for publication in it.[1]: 25
During the editorial tenure of Lu Dingyi, Jiefang Daily increased its focus on promulgating CCP policies.[1]: 25–26 Because the party relied on grassroots cadre to communicate its messages to the masses at a time when literacy was still limited, the newspaper used simple and direct language.[1]: 26 In an effort to give clear instruction, it typically published a piece of reporting side-by-side with an instructive editorial.[1]: 26 Seeking to implement principles of the mass line, the newspaper dispatched reporters to collect news stories from villagers and sought contributions from local cultural workers.[1]: 26 Circulation methods included village newspaper reading groups, community blackboards and bulletin boards, night study groups, and public meetings.[1]: 26
Lu established the requirement that the paper's content had to be approved by the CCP.[1]: 25–26 During Lu's tenure, the paper became more aligned with those who supported Mao's leadership, and less with the Soviet-leaning members of party leadership.[1]: 26
The Yan'an-based paper stopped operating 27 March 1947 when the CCP headquarters moved out of Yan'an because attack by the Nationalists was imminent.[1]: 25
In March 2018, Jiefang Daily won the Third National Top 100 Newspapers in China.[3][4]
In October 2020, the United States Department of State designated Jiefang Daily as a foreign mission of China.[5][6]
