林鄭月娥女士獻辭

 

衷心恭賀「二零一七年香港最佳新聞獎」各得獎者。

二零一七年是不平凡的一年,不僅見證香港回歸祖國二十周年和香港特區第五屆政府就職,還發生許許多多社會大事,新聞界朋友馬不停蹄,為市民網羅最新資訊,敬業樂業。

香港新聞工作者以鍥而不捨的探究精神,採訪報道社會關心的各項議題,並作出深入精闢的分析評論,顯示「一國兩制」在香港貫徹落實,同時體現《基本法》所訂明的新聞自由和出版自由,這些都是香港賴以成功的基石。

今屆「香港最佳新聞獎」分為四個組別,共設七十五個獎項,旨在表揚不同領域的新聞工作者的卓越成就,並鼓勵業界秉持專業,精益求精,恪守傳媒獨立自主的核心價值。

香港報業公會每年悉力籌辦「香港最佳新聞獎」,我深表讚賞。我亦感謝各評審委員會在百忙中抽空參與評審工作,選出各獎項得主,實在勞苦功高。

謹祝各位新聞界朋友新一年工作順利有成,事業更上層樓。

  

Mrs Carrie Lam
Chief Executive

I am delighted to congratulate the winners of the Hong Kong News Awards 2017.

During a year that marked, among many other things, the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to our Motherland and the inauguration of the Fifth Term Government of the HKSAR, there was no lack of opportunities for journalists to demonstrate their expertise and professionalism in 2017.

The probing and insightful reporting of topics of interest to the community echoes the enduring success of Hong Kong under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle, including freedom of the press and of publication which is enshrined in the Basic Law.

With a total of 75 awards in four sections, the News Awards honour the achievements of journalists from different sectors and inspire all industry players to strive for excellence and uphold the values of a free and unfettered media.

I commend the Newspaper Society on organising the News Awards and I thank the panel of distinguished adjudicators who have given much time and consideration to the judging process. 

I wish you all continued success in the year ahead.
