Shanghai Daily's monthly awards

Date:2009-06-25

May's "Best Story" and "Best Page" awards were announced today.

The Best Story award was shared by Business reporters Leo Zhang, Zhang Fengming, and Winny Wang and Metro reporters Cai Wenjun, Liang Yiwen and Lu Feiran.

Reporters from the Business department produced in-depth coverage on the Lujiazui Forum for four consecutive days with abundant and authoritative information, says Zhu Huanian, Shanghai Daily Deputy Editor-in-chief.

A series of Metro stories about a young boy from a poor family coming to Shanghai for treatment of a life-threatening disease with his sister offering a bone marrow transplant was well organized: "Donor girl lost as boy awaits cure" (A2, May 22), "Boy sent home as search continues" (A5, May 23), "Donor girl ran in fear of her mom" (A2, May 26) and "Singapore benefactor meets stem cell transplant siblings" (A4, May 27). The reporters made big efforts to keep the stories vivid and readable, said Shanghai Daily Deputy Editor-in-chief Wu Zheng.

The Best Page went to an Expo Insight page (A4-5, May 1), which detailed, with a lively layout, a one day route around the Expo site on the occasion of the one-year countdown to the event – it was written by Yang Jian and designed by Li Xiaoying.

The Best Translated Story was Li Xinran's "Local men pass test on panty washings" (A2, May 19). It was not an easy job for Li to display the good writing skills in this story with limited resources and time, said J.J Jiang, our managing deputy editor-in-chief.

Feature writer Yao Minji and photographer Wang Rongjiang won a special assignment award for their brilliant performances for the anniversary coverage of the Sichuan Earthquake.
