History

Beijing Star Daily was renamed from Drama and Film Post,[7] which was launched on January 4, 1981.

On October 9, 2000,[8] the Drama and Film Post officially changed its name to Beijing Star Daily.[9] In November 2004, it was taken over by the Beijing Daily Newspaper Group (北京日报报业集团).[10]

On November 27, 2007, the newspaper was transformed into a metro newspaper,[11] which was distributed free of charge in Beijing's subway stations.[12]

In January 2010, Beijing authority banned the sale of newspapers other than the Beijing Star Daily in subway stations. The ban sparked a strong backlash in Chinese media circles, with The Beijing News and the Beijing Times publishing articles expressing their displeasure.[13]

On January 1, 2018, the Beijing Star Daily officially ceased publication.[14]
