SCMP Reporter

The South China Morning Post has confirmed its place among the world's online elite by winning a major global award.

 The paper's Internet Edition was voted best online newspaper service outside the United States at the third Editor and Publisher awards.

 Editor and Publisher is the American journalists' bible - a magazine providing news and commentary about the newspaper business in the US and around the world.

 The panel of judges was made up of 23 journalism and online publishing authorities from 10 countries.

 The E&P Best Online Newspaper Awards, also called the EPpys, were announced at a ceremony at the Interactive Newspapers '98 conference in Seattle.

 The Post's editor, Jonathan Fenby, said: 'The Internet offers a new dimension for major news gathering organisations like the Post and we are delighted with this top-level recognition of the effort that has been made to put us in the forefront of global information dissemination.

 'It is also a particularly pleasing recognition of the hard work and skill that has been put into the site by all those concerned.'  There were more than 400 entries from newspaper Web sites in 33 countries ranging from Russia and Argentina to Pakistan and Australia - almost three times the number in last year's contest.

 Postnet manager Christopher Justice, who leads the Post's online team and who was in Seattle to accept the award, said: 'Winning this recognition by such a well-respected panel of judges is a great honour. We were up against the best . . . and we won. We now aim to gain even wider recognition by introducing exciting and innovative additions to the site.'  The Post defeated Britain's Financial Times' web site and the Toronto Star's Citysearch to take the award.

 The Post's web site was also a finalist in the awards' most-competitive category - Best Special Section in a Newspaper Online Service - for the '1997 Handover' section. The award is the latest praise for the Post's Internet Edition.

 The Far Eastern Economic Review, in its current edition, describes the Post's site as 'probably the most comprehensive newspaper site in Asia'.

 And Dow Jones & Co said in its Business Directory Guide that the site was 'an excellent example of what online newspapers can do'. The web site is at www.scmp.com
