A passive verb in an article(31-10-2007)

This is an example of ‘passive verbs’ in the article ‘Question of the week: Who is the most influential person in Hong Kong?’ by Hwa Young Kim, 15, Chinese International School. (On page 2 of Youngpost, from the October 18, 2007 edition of the South China Morning Post newspaper.)

In the highlighted sentence, the ‘he’ is the subject (receiver) and the ‘newspapers’ is the object (doer).
