The Straits Times scores biggest haul at global contest; Save the Merlion, HDB projects among winners
The results were announced at the weekend by the Society for News Design, which organises the event. This year, it drew a record of nearly 2,000 entries. The New York Times, Reuters and The Washington Post were among key winners.
Mr Warren Fernandez, editor-in-chief of SPH Media Trust's English, Malay and Tamil Media Group and editor of ST, said:"This is a big boost for our ST newsroom, and our audiences. We were up against the very best newsrooms around the world and came out creditably. "It reflects our ongoing efforts to tell stories and produce content in ways that are more visual and engaging, just as our audiences are demanding."
He added:"With the additional resources and support for the newsroom, as we transition to a media trust, we have been able to invest more time and energy into such efforts. The wins encourage us to press ahead, and our audiences are the biggest winners in the process." On the HDB project, which won two silvers and one bronze - the most medals among ST winners - the judging panel said:"It brings in all the different pieces of the story... I learnt so much through the project and I wanted to keep learning."
