Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" was ranked in 2011 as the paper with the largest circulation by the International Federation of Audit Bureaux of Circulations. However, travelers to Japan are likely to be greeted in their hotel by a copy of "Asahi Shimbun."
The largest newspapers in the world by circulation include Yomiuri Shimbun (Japan), The Asahi Shimbun (Japan), and USA Today (United States). These newspapers have widespread readership and influence in their respective countries.
朝日 に means "in the morning sun". But 朝日(Asahi) Shimbun is also the name of a Japanese Daily newspaper so depending on the rest of the sentence it could mean the particle ni could mean in, to, at, on, and other things. It marks an indirect object as well. It is very hard to translate only part of a japanese sentence properly into english. Verbs are more important in Japanese than in English and this lacks a verb.
