香港大公文匯傳媒集團旗下有《大公報》、香港《文匯報》等多份報章,以及大公文匯網、香港文匯網和覆蓋移動端、社交媒體的多個新媒體平台及賬號,是全媒體發展、全業態生産、全平台覆蓋的愛國愛港全媒體傳媒旗艦,也是香港日報發行量最大的傳媒機構之一。在香港報業公會最佳新聞獎評選中,集團三報獲獎總量及冠軍總量自2019年以來連續五年位居全港第一。   《大公報》1902年6月17日創刊於天津,是現存歷史最悠久的中文報紙。報名釋義「忘己之為大,無私之謂公」。大公報為中國新聞文化事業培養了很多人才,對推動中國歷史進步發揮了重要作用,中國新聞史學界有「一部新聞史,半部在大公」之說。《大公報》曾獲美國密蘇里大學新聞學院授予「新聞事業傑出貢獻獎」,是迄今唯一獲此殊榮的中文媒體。《文匯報》於1938年在上海創刊,1948年9月9日在香港復刊,以「文以載道、匯則興邦」為辦報宗旨,是港人了解中央政府政策、知曉內地情況的主要渠道。一直以來,兩報與祖國同心,與香港同行,面向全球華人,傳遞中國聲音,報道香港消息,弘揚中華文化,為「一國兩制」在香港的成功實踐鼓與呼。   2016年,集團順應媒體變革趨勢,探索媒體融合發展,建立了全媒體新聞中心,實現了傳播平台的全覆蓋、生產方式的全業態、集團媒體的全融合,活躍用戶量和訪問流量穩居香港新媒體同業的第一方陣。   集團搭建了大公文匯網、大公網、文匯網、點新聞網、DotDotNews五個網站和三個移動客戶端等自有平台,並入駐FB、X、YouTube、Instagram、微博、微信、B站、抖音、TikTok、MeWe、Quora等第三方平台,覆蓋用戶1500萬,日均瀏覽量超過1000萬,形成了報、網、端、微等各終端並行的全媒體傳播格局。同時,集團依託中央廚房智媒系統,形成了「中央廚房」統一指揮、一體化運作、多元傳播的採編模式,實現了新聞資訊的即時採集、移動採集和即採即發,實現了視頻、音頻、動漫、海報、懶人包、無人機、H5等全業態生産。 目前,集團每日生產新媒體產品數百條,除通過自有平台發布外,還在100多個社交媒體賬號矩陣發布,在內地、港澳台和海外受眾中具有廣泛影響力和傳播力。   大文集團新聞採集和發行網絡覆蓋香港、內地及海外。《大公報》和香港《文匯報》及其電子報發行覆蓋全港近九成中小學校,以及所有報攤、便利店零售、主要社區、屋邨、八大專上院校、主要圖書館、機場貴賓室、香港北京對飛航班等,三報日均發行量超過20萬份;集團在北京、廣州、深圳、上海等內地一線城市和澳門特區設有新聞中心和記者站,採訪網絡及發行覆蓋內地全域。集團還在北京特設印點,開展高端發行,每天《大公報》、《文匯報》直送中央黨政軍機關;集團還同步在美國、加拿大、法國、南非、馬來西亞、印度尼西亞、菲律賓、韓國、澳大利亞等國家以及台灣等地區發行37個海(境)外版,每期發行近200萬份,讀者遍及五大洲。
