On June 11, 2015, The Standard was named “Newspaper of the Year” in the Rotary Club of Manila 2015 Journalism Awards. To our readers, advertisers and all who have supported us, without whom we could not have made it this far, we give our thanks.
It is an award that is meaningful to us.
There is the distinction and prestige that comes with being recognized by the august Rotary Club of Manila and its RCM Journalism Awards, an award-giving body known worldwide for honoring outstanding contributions and exemplary performance in journalism. We take it as affirmation of what we have set out to do: to create a source of credible, relevant news, information and content that creates positive change.
But more importantly, we also recognize the responsibility that comes with the award: that of maintaining excellence, integrity and value in the performance of our work.
To be The Standard. It is who we are, and what we will always strive to be.
