香港報業公會主席
李祖澤獻辭

　　在今天瞬息萬變的社會，資訊發達的年代， 新聞傳播已成為我們生活上不可或缺的一部份。它拉近了人與人之間的距離，提升了我們的精神素質，讓我們與社會同步成長。新聞工作者所肩負的重任及付出的貢獻是不容置疑的。香港報業公會每年舉辦「香港最佳新聞獎」，以表揚優秀同業，發掘新進人才，並藉此提升業界專業水平。

　　感謝各報館的積極參與，我謹此向各位得獎同業表示衷心祝賀。希望大家與時俱進，繼續發揮求知、求真、求證的專業精神，為創建更美好的未來而努力。

The Newspaper Society of Hong Kong's message

    　　In this age of information, news has become an indispensable part of our daily life. It shrinks social distance, enriches our minds, and helps us keep pace with social changes. In discharging their duties of disseminating news, journalists bear a heavy responsibility and make an enormous social contribution.

    　　Every year, The Newspaper Society of Hong Kong organises the Hong Kong News Awards competition with a view to recognising excellence and raising industry standards. I would like to thank the participating newspapers and congratulate all the winners. I am confident that in performing their duites in the future, they will continue to strive for excellence, adhere to best practice and stick to the truth.
