Golden gambit: lavish lottery bolsters Taiwan daily's clout
Article Abstract:
Taiwan's Liberty Times newspaper has become the nation's third most widely read daily and is encroaching on the readership of the two top papers, the United Daily News and the China Times. Under owner Lin Rung-san and Pres Yen Wen-shuan, Liberty Times has invested $20 million since 1991 in an aggressive marketing campaign that includes a lottery. The campaign helped boost the paper's circulation above 500,000 in unaudited 1993 figures. Critics accuse the Liberty Press of not spending enough on serious reporting.
