National Top 100 Publications


The National Top 100 Publications is a biennial ranking system of Chinese print and digital publications, administered by the National Press and Publication Administration since 2013. It evaluates over 10,000 newspapers and journals nationwide based on circulation metrics, editorial quality, social impact, and digital transformation performance, selecting 100 top-performing outlets across two categories: newspapers and periodicals.

History

The awards were held three times, in 2013, 2015 and 2017. Notable perennial honorees include the People's Daily newspaper and the political theory journal Qiushi, both of which have maintained unbroken placements since the ranking's inception. Results are formally announced through the NPPA's official Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television Journal and inform national media policy discussions. The list is widely cited in industry analyses of China's media convergence strategies.
