Harian Metro

''Harian Metro'' is a Malaysian daily newspaper owned by the New Straits Times Press. It is Malaysia's first Malay daily afternoon tabloid in the Klang Valley, in contrast to morning tabloids in other part of Malaysia. The ''Harian Metro'' was established in March 1991 and is the first and oldest Malay-language tabloid newspaper in the country. It is now Malaysia's largest circulating newspaper in any language.

The change in the demographics of urbanites resulted in a growing audience of young people who were looking for entertainment, shopping news, lifestyle features and current news. ''Harian Metro'' set out to meet those needs.

On 17 July 2006, the newspaper underwent a layout revamp to remain fresh and relevant for its readers. New pullouts were introduced, such as "Rap" and "Variasi".

On 11 April 2009, ''Harian Metro'' increased its cover price with the introduction of new pullouts such as "GIGS" and "EKSTRA".

''Harian Metro'' rise has steadily gained momentum over the past few years. In 2011, ''Harian Metro'' remained the No. 1 daily Bahasa Melayu newspaper for the fifth time as declared by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. However, it later lost the status to its rival, , in the second quarter of 2013, largely due to increased access and availability of internet news sources and subsequent growth in their audience.
