History
The Information Times was initially founded in 1985 as a daily financial newspaper. On May 15, 2001, The Guangzhou Daily Newspaper Group invested in an update to the paper, making it more comprehensive. Further revisions in the next few years saw the paper focus more on coverage of city news. Several events were planned to celebrate these revisions:
- June 2002: The Beijing–Guangzhou Railway was temporarily renamed the Information Times Line, and free newspapers were given to passengers.{{cite news|date=2006-03-20 |script-title=zh:组图：信息时报冠名的广州至北京列车 |url=http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2005-03-19/15376133562.shtml |language=zh |publisher=Sina Corp |archive-url=https://archive.today/20160703000609/http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2005-03-19/15376133562.shtml |archive-date=July 3, 2016 |access-date=2016-07-03 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}
