My Paper (Chinese: 我报; pinyin: Wǒ Bào) was a free, bilingual (English and Chinese) newspaperinSingapore published by the Singapore Press Holdings.
It is published from Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays; and an electronic copy of the print edition is published on the paper's website. The newspaper has a daily circulation of 300,000 copies, and is distributed in the morning at MRT stations, bus interchanges, office buildings and selected residential areas in Singapore.[1]
my Paper is a compact-sized, full-colour newspaper and features two "front" pages. It is divided equally into both English-language and Chinese-language sections with the pages of the English-language side of the paper reading from left to right (as would an English-language book); while the pages of the Chinese-language on the opposite side of the paper reads from right to left (as would a Chinese-language book). Instead of a mirror translation of articles, each piece of news or commentary in my Paper is presented in one language only.
my Paper was first published on 1 June 2006 and was the first free Chinese-language newspaper in Singapore.[2] It started with a daily circulation of 100,000 copies and was initially published from Tuesdays to Saturdays. On 8 January 2008, my Paper was relaunched as the first full-fledged bilingual newspaper in Singapore.[1]
On 17 October 2016, Singapore Press Holdings announced a cut 10% of staff,[3][4][5] that My Paper and The New Paper (TNP) will merge to form a revamped TNP that will be distributed free from 1 December 2016.[6][7]
On 30 November 2016, it has been confirmed that TNP will officially merge with MyPaper to form a free newspaper from 1 December 2016.[8]
Readers of Singapore's Chinese freesheet my paper can now enjoy the best of both worlds when it relaunches as a full-fledged bilingual newspaper on 8 January; The relaunch of the paper, which saw dramatic improvement in its design and layout, will be accompanied by an increase in daily circulation from 180,000 to 300,000 copies.
