BUSINESSMIRROR, the fast-expanding daily newspaper
venture of businessman Antonio Cabangon L. Chua, will be
conferred an award of distinction after it was named as
the 2007 Best Business Newspaper of the Year by the
Publishers Association of the Philippines Inc. (Papi).
In a
letter to BusinessMirror publisher T. Anthony C.
Cabangon, Papi president Juan P. Dayang said the award
will be given on June 24 to coincide with the second day
of Papi’s two-day 12th Executive Session and 2008
Midyear Media Conference to be held at the Makati Sports
Club, Makati City.
The
first ever to be handed out by Papi, the award
recognized the “highest standards of professional
journalism” the BusinessMirror has adhered to over the
past years, Dayang said.
He said
the paper’s espousing of a “broader look at today’s
business has redefined the scope and thrusts of business
reportage, given the shifting trends in the
globalization of the national economy.
“As a
result, BusinessMirror has unlocked new market niches
that put premium on entrepreneurship as the driving
force in the fiercely competitive world of business,”
Dayang said.
He said
the awarding will lend a measure of significance and
relevance to the centerpiece theme of Papi’s meeting—“A
Crucial Challenge: the Strategic Role of the Press in
Food Security.” |
