HONG KONG SAR –
\nMedia OutReach Newswire<\/a> – 12 December 2023 –
\nThe Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA)<\/a>, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in journalism, announced today that the SOPA 2024 Awards for Editorial Excellence are open for entries. The deadline for submissions is 3pm Hong Kong time on Thursday February 22nd, 2024.<\/p>\n

\n The SOPA Awards for Editorial Excellence celebrate the best journalism in Asia and set the regional standard for quality, professional reporting.\n<\/p>\n

\n There are several noteworthy updates to this year\u2019s SOPA Awards. Among them, the length limit in the category of Excellence in Video Reporting has been extended from 15 minutes to 20 minutes. Also, the SOPA Award for Young Journalists will now recognize both an English-language and a Chinese-language journalist.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe SOPA Awards are a celebration of excellence in journalism in the Asia Pacific region. These awards recognize outstanding journalism across all formats and demonstrate the diverse media space and unique stories being told in Asia,\u201d SOPA
\n Board Co-Chairs<\/a> Danielle McGuigan from the Financial Times and Sunita Rajan of Bloomberg, said.\n<\/div>\n
\n Editorial Committee<\/a> Co-Chairs Yi-Shan Chen, Editor-in-Chief of CommonWealth Magazine, and Bill Ridgers, Asia Digital Editor of The Economist, echoed that message and added: \u201cSince 1982, SOPA has honored the brave journalists that have told Asia\u2019s story. That recognition is now more important than ever.\u201d\n<\/div>\n

\n The annual awards give smaller publications across the Asia Pacific region an opportunity to showcase their reporting on local grassroots issues as well as regional ones. In 2023, The World of Chinese received an award for excellence for a story on a brutal assault in Tangshan and how it highlighted the need for education on sexual consent in China. Myanmar Now, meanwhile, won an award for excellence for its fearless reporting on those standing up to the country\u2019s vicious junta.\n<\/p>\n

\n The Journalism and Media Studies Centre at The University of Hong Kong, known as
\n JMSC<\/a>, has administered the awards since 2011. The Head of Judges, Senior Lecturer Ting Shi, will work with a judges panel of industry professionals from the region\u2019s most influential media organizations, leading journalism schools, and past award winners.\n<\/div>\n

\n In 2023, more than 800 entries in English and Chinese were submitted and more than 100 awards were presented for outstanding journalism.\n<\/p>\n

\n For a limited time, SOPA is offering a 40% discount on the SOPA membership fee as well as a similar discount on up to five award entries. For the SOPA membership discount code, please request via email to [email\u00a0protected]<\/a> no later than Thursday February 8th, 2024.\n<\/div>\n
