The origin of press day

In 2000, the State Council officially approved the request for instructions on determining the specific date of "press day" by the China Association for record keeping, and agreed to make November 8, the founding date of the China Association for record keeping, a press day.

Like nurse's day and teacher's day, journalist's Day is one of the only three professional festivals in China. According to the regulations of the State Council, journalists' Day is a working day without holidays.

Before the founding of new China, there was a press festival in China. From 1933 to 1949, every year on September 1, journalists held various ceremonies to commemorate the festival.

In December 1949, the "journalists' Day" was clearly stipulated in the "measures for the holidays of national annual festivals and anniversaries". However, there was no specific date at that time, so for a long time, the journalists in our country had not passed the press day.

November 8 is the founding day of the China Association of records. On November 8, 1937, the left-wing journalists headed by Fan Changjiang established the China Youth Journalists Association in Shanghai, which is the predecessor of the China Association for record. The establishment date of the China Association of record is determined as the press day, which is widely representative.
