Journalists' Day (China)
8 November 2026 — Comet, one line for our readers? That tail is a whole story!
Journalists' Day in China is marked on 8 November. It is a professional holiday for people who gather, check and tell the news. According to available information, it has been officially observed since 2000, when the State Council of China approved the date at the request of the All-China Journalists Association. The date marks the founding of the Chinese Young Journalists Society on 8 November 1937 in Shanghai. Traditionally, the day brings meetings, awards for good reporting and conversations about the media's responsibility to readers. It is not a day off and does not follow the lunar calendar, so it falls on the same date every year in the Gregorian calendar. The link to the sky is symbolic: a journalist, like an astronomer, observes carefully, records the facts and shares what was seen. That is why our reporter questions a comet that passes only briefly.
