South China Morning Post wins five prizes in Asia editorial awards

Senior editor Niall Fraser and reporter Toh Han Shih's article on the swipe-card crackdown in Macau casinos won the Scoop Award.

Harry Harrison won an excellence award in editorial cartooning for his depiction of police firing tear gas at the pro-democracy Occupy Central protests.

The Post also earned an honourable mention in the Excellence in News Photography category in capturing different moments during the protests.

The Excellence in Digital News Award went to the Post's package, Voices from Tiananmen, which gathered the personal accounts of former government officials, student leaders and witnesses in looking back at the bloody crackdown in 1989.

The Post's graphic director, Alberto Lucas Lopez, earned an award and an honourable mention in information graphics for his articles entitled The Height of Social Value, which showed how the world's tallest buildings have acted as barometers, and Dead in Life, Alive in Death, which showed the differences between the terracotta warriors of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang.
