Most recently, Abacus was crowned first place in the “Best Use of Mobile” category (international media) at the 2019 INMA Global Media Awards. Jagran Prakashan (India) and VG/Schibsted Media Group (Norway) was awarded second and third place respectively, while Bloomberg’s submission was given an honourable mention.

Produced by the International News Media Association (INMA), the awards were presented before more than 400 delegates at the Edison Ballroom in New York’s Times Square last week. During the ceremony, 40 first-place winners were unveiled across 20 categories aimed at energizing news brands, creating products, engaging audiences, developing customer insights, growing advertising revenue, and instilling innovation. The competition garnered 664 entries from 165 news media companies in 34 countries. Participants included newspaper media, magazine media, digital media, television media, and radio media.
 

Over on this side of the pond, SCMP swept a total of six wins at the prestigious annual WAN-IFRA Asian Media Awards, including two golds, two silvers, and two bronzes. The award ceremony was successfully held at the Publish Asia Conference in Singapore earlier this month.

The Asian Media Awards presented at this year’s Publish Asia conference promote the highest publishing standards in the field. They cover newspaper and magazine design, infographics, printing, editorial content, marketing, community service, and photojournalism.

The South China Morning Post was honoured in the following categories:

  • Silver - Best in Newspaper Infographics – “Highs and Lows”

  • Silver - Best in Breaking News – “Typhoon Mangkhut”

Organised by the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers, the awards recognise publishers who have adopted digital media and mobile strategies as part of their total product and met major changes in how people consume news and information today.

Prizes were awarded in 10 categories that also covered social media engagement and innovation to engage a young audience.
