The last 18 months have demonstrated that news is more crucial than ever in uncertain times, and is essential to the health and future of our interconnected world. Despite the complexities and dangers of reporting during a pandemic (in addition to the economic, technological and social disruptions) our journalists have remained steadfast in their mission to ensure that readers stay informed. SCMP’s newsroom is dedicated to all of the issues that shape our home, beyond just Covid-19, chronicling how Hong Kong is changing under the national security law and what lies behind the city’s perpetual housing crisis.

For our global audience, we have examined and explained Beijing’s impact on the world, from the evolving dynamics between superpowers under the Biden administration, to unpacking China’s national policy blueprint which revealed the country’s ambitions for international diplomacy, trade, technology, military and climate change. We also continue to provide readers with lifestyle updates as well as supply health and wellness guidance to help our readers thrive in a post-pandemic world.

We are proud that our readers and peers around the world rely on our reporting and have recognised our work through 128 industry awards in the past year. Most notably, our newsroom was honoured for its independent journalism and innovative reporting at the Online Journalism Awards, becoming the first news publisher in Asia to win the ‘General Excellence in Online Journalism’ award. In addition, our dedication to excellence in journalism and digital publishing has led to top international honours and global accolades for impactful visual storytelling and human rights reporting.
