李家超先生献辞 

香港报业公会举办香港最佳新闻奖，多年来一直嘉许新闻工作者的杰出表现，提升业界的专业水平。

香港是资讯发达的国际大都会，快速、准确、客观而全面的新闻资讯，有助大众掌握本地、内地和世界的最新发展。蓬勃发展的传媒对推动经济发展，促进社会进步，提升国际竞争力，贡献良多。这是香港以至全球主要城市的重要标记。

过去一年，尽管香港社会仍受疫情影响，但新闻工作者仍然坚守岗位，提供客观详实的报道，深入精辟的分析。我祝贺每一位2021年香港最佳新闻奖的获奖人士，并鼓励你们继续秉持专业精神和新闻道德，报道优质新闻，精益求精。

今年是香港特区成立25周年的重要里程碑，未来五年是香港由乱及治到治及兴的关键时刻。我寄语新闻业界善用其传播力和影响力，共同努力为香港谱写更精彩的新篇章。

Mr John Lee
Chief Executive
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

Organised by the Newspaper Society of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong News Award honours media workers with excellent performance over the years, with a view to enhancing the professional standard of the industry.

In a metropolitan city with fast-pacing information flow like Hong Kong, dissemination of accurate, objective and comprehensive news and information in a speedy manner helps the public to gain a full understanding of latest developments in Hong Kong, the Mainland and the world. A vibrant media scene makes enormous contributions to economic and social developments as well as enhancing international competitiveness. This is a prominent mark for not only Hong Kong but also other major cities in the world.

In the past year, despite the daunting challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, media workers continued to hold fast to their duties by turning out objective reporting and insightful analysis, informing, educating and entertaining their readers. May I extend my congratulations to every winner of the Hong Kong News Award 2021. I encourage you to upkeep your professionalism and news ethics as always in reporting quality news stories and striving for excellence.

This year marks a significant milestone of the 25th Anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Over the next five years, as Hong Kong returns to stability and prosperity after a time of volatility, I look upon the media industry for making the best use of its transmissibility and influence in composing a new and fascinating chapter for Hong Kong together.
