SOPA announces journalism awards finalists

The Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA) has announced the finalists for the SOPA 2018 Awards for Editorial Excellence.

The Hong Kong-based not-for-profit organisation made the announcement on Thursday, according to a Media OutReach statement.

The finalists were shortlisted from more than 850 English and Chinese-language entries submitted by international, regional and local media across the region.

Chair of the SOPA editorial committee Cliff Buddle said, “The finalists selected by the judges have produced content of the highest quality covering a wide range of issues.

“Their work underlines the important role played by journalists in Asia, at a time when press freedom in the region is under threat.”

The winners will be named at a gala dinner to be held on the occasion on 13 June at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The SOPA has received the highest number of entries since the launch of the awards in 1999.
