The South China Morning Post has picked up a string of major international awards in recent days.

The company’s premium video arm, SCMP Films, scooped gold at the Wan-IFRA Digital Media Awards in the best use of video category, while SCMP Explains won silver in the same division.

The awards recognise news publishers that have delivered unique and original digital media projects. They were presented in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday evening.

SCMP Style was named a joint gold winner for best lifestyle site, while the newspaper’s educational news product for young children, Posties, won the silver award for best digital subscription/reader revenue project.

Post editor-in-chief Tammy Tam said it was a “privilege” to represent the winners at the awards ceremony in Kuala Lumpur.

“These awards are not only a fitting tribute to the world-class journalism that we are committed to at the Post, they also reflect that we are more than Hong Kong’s newspaper of record, that we are a leading, global multimedia company,” she said.
