The South China Morning Post made significant headway at this year’s Society for News Design (SND) Best of Digital Design competition, landing the competition’s fourth largest tally of medals after The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Reuters.

The Post scooped 24 medals including the newspaper’s first silver. The paper first won recognition at SND Digital in 2017, when it secured four Awards of Excellence.

The digital design competition is in its seventh year and honours journalistic, visual and technical excellence for online work produced in 2018.

Thirteen international experts in journalism, new media and design, judged more than 1,300 entries at Northwestern University’s Medill News Service campus in Washington. The prizes were announced on Wednesday.
