The Grand Prize for Newspaper Day Slogan: "Between Reading Newspapers, There Is a Place for Thinking"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] The three media organizations?the Korea Newspaper Association, the Korea Newspaper and Broadcasting Editors Association, and the Korea Journalists Association?announced on the 16th that they selected Yoon Mi-sun (Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi) as the grand prize winner of the slogan contest for the 66th Newspaper Day with her entry, "Between reading newspapers, there is a place for thinking."

The excellence awards went to two entries: Nam Won-woo (Seocho-gu, Seoul) with "The newspaper that raised me, the newspaper that will raise my child," and Lee Young-ho (Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi) with "When the world chases rumors, the newspaper seeks the truth."

The judges stated that "Between reading newspapers, there is a place for thinking" was selected because it "well captures the advantages of newspapers compared to news portals, the unique historical value newspapers hold as an information medium, and the emotional value readers have toward newspapers. Its format breaks away from the traditional slogan style, providing space that does not force thoughts or emotions on the reader, creating a resonant effect."

The excellence award-winning "The newspaper that raised me, the newspaper that will raise my child" was praised for "effectively translating the emotional sense of shared experience existing among traditional readers into the strengths of newspapers." "When the world chases rumors, the newspaper seeks the truth" received high marks from the judges for "well expressing the unique advantages and values of newspapers in the mobile news environment."

The grand prize winner will receive a cash prize of 1,000,000 KRW and a plaque, while the excellence award winners will each receive 500,000 KRW and a plaque. The awards ceremony will be held on April 6th at the 19th-floor press conference room of the Korea Press Center during the 66th Newspaper Day commemorative event.
