The Newspaper Society of Hong Kong's message

    The power of the media has grown ever farther and wider with the development of information technology. As journalists, we care deeply about our social responsibility and try to be comprehensive and objective in reporting the news. Every year, the Newspaper Society of Hong Kong organises the Hong Kong News Awards to recognise outstanding journalists with a view to raising professional standards and contributing to the growth of the industry. We believe a vibrant media is critical to the prosperity of Hong Kong.

    I congratulate the winners for their outstanding performance and hope that their exemplary works will set the stage for even higher standards.
