In 1912, Tianjin had 17 Chinese-language newspapers and five daily newspapers in other languages. None of the newspapers in the Tianjin district were trade papers. Of the foreign language newspapers, three were in English; the other two were in French and German, respectively.

===Censorship capital===
China's leading Internet information providers (which are usually located in Beijing), including social networks [[Sina Weibo]] and [[Douban]], as well as the online video website [[Sohu]], have been increasingly relocating their censorship departments to Tianjin, where labor costs are cheaper than in Beijing, as censorship is a type of [[labor-intensive]] work. In fact, Tianjin is considered to have become the censorship capitol for Chinese Internet.<ref name=ChinaManhattan2/><ref>{{cite journal|title=At Sina Weibo's censorship hub, China's Little Brothers cleanse online chatter|journal=Reuters|date=September 11, 2013|url=http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUKBRE98A18Z20130911?irpc=932|access-date=January 29, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160204065454/http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUKBRE98A18Z20130911?irpc=932|archive-date=February 4, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
