Origin of China's Journalists' Day

China's Journalists' Day was officially approved by the State Council, with the date set as November 8th each year. This day commemorates the establishment of the China Young Journalists' Association in Shanghai on November 8, 1937. The establishment of the China Journalists' Association marked the birth of the first national united front organization in the Chinese news industry, which played an important role in the Anti-Japanese War. Journalists' Day is one of only three industry-specific festivals in China (the other two being Nurses' Day and Teachers' Day), fully reflecting the Party and the state's high regard for news work and their cordial care for the vast number of news workers.
