The South China Morning Post has won 11 prizes in the 2010 Hong Kong News Awards.
The Post scooped the prize pool last night in the Best Business News Writing (English category) for the second year in a row, took the top prize in Best News Writing (English category), was second runner-up in the Best Scoop and took second prize in the best science news reporting category.
The newspaper also gained five awards in the photographic category, including champion for news photos.
Acting editor-in-chief Cliff Buddle said: 'Our strong showing in these awards is a credit to the skill and dedication of our team in a variety of different fields. We will continue to strive for the highest standards.'
Post reporters won all three prizes in the best English business news writing category, with the top honour going to Eric Ng for his package on the excessive greenhouse gases produced by mainland factories to earn carbon credits and the EU's ban on buying such credits.
Naomi Rovnick's piece on how Dairy Farm's expansion dreams turned sour earned her second prize and second runner-up honours went to Denise Tsang's report on how mainland workers used collective bargaining in negotiating their wages with bosses.
