Shanghai Evening Post & Mercury » Wiki (Topic)

The Shanghai Evening Post & Mercury was an English language newspaper in Shanghai, China, published by the Post-Mercury Co. The newspaper represented the point of view of Shanghai's American business community. The newspaper offices were located across from the Shanghai International Settlement. Life reported that the magazine was "old and respected". Nancy Bernkopf Tucker, author of Patterns in the Dust: Chinese-American Relations and the Recognition Controversy, 1949-1950, said that the newspaper was "conservative". The paper had a Chinese edition, Ta Mei Wan Pao (simplified Chinese: 大美晩报; traditional Chinese: 大美晩報; pinyin: Dàměi Wǎnbào). The newspaper was American-owned, and had been founded by Carl Crow. Randall Chase Gould was the editor. Cornelius Vander Starr was the owner. Until his July 1940 death, Samuel H. Chang was the director of the Post and Ta Mei Wan Pao.
