香港报业公会主席 李祖泽献辞 香港回归祖国后，我们既享有高度的新闻自由，同时社会责任感亦相应增强。随著社会进步，资讯科技飞跃发展，业者通过媒介向读者传达各类新闻和资讯，不仅务必及时、客观和准确，还要力求好上加好，精益求精，这不仅是社会各阶层人士对传媒工作日愈提高的要求，亦是具有高度新闻操守的新闻从业员孜孜不倦追求以达之境界。报业工作从来就与广大市民息息相关，休戚与共，从本届得奖作品中，我们又一次看到香港报业从业员如何在艰难环境中努力工作，与时并进，为社会迭作贡献。 谨此恭贺同业喜人成就，并以之共勉，来年再创佳绩，更臻卓越。 Lee Cho Jat After the handover of sovereignty in 1997, we have been enjoying freedom of the press despite some skepticism; but we also need to strengthen our consciousness of social responsibility in exercising such freedom as we move onto a new era of information technology. Working in a very competitive environment, our journalists must strive to keep pace with the rapid strides in information technology to serve readers with all kinds of news and analysis. But on top of timely, balanced and accurate news and information, the community also has very high expectation that our journalist are vigilant of their professional ethics in their pursuit for quality news. Our newspaper industry can never be divorced form the public. In reality, we are part of people's daily life. This can be reflected from this year's news and photographs awards which again demonstrate the professionalism of our journalists though they have to work in a very demanding environment. Finally, congratulations to all winners of this year's news awards and we are all proud of their achievements. I believe the news awards will serve to give them the much-needed incentive and momentum to strive for better results in the years ahead.
