A distinguished journalist is professional, independent, proactive, eager to uncover the truth and full of the humanistic spirit. These are also the qualities CUHK aims to nurture in their students. Two journalists who graduated from CUHK, Law Suk-yi Doris and Wong Ka-yu, were awarded the grand award of the Feature & Commentary Group (TV) and the merit award of the News Group (TV) respectively in the 5th Chinese University Journalism Award 2011 organized by the CUHK School of Journalism and Communication Alumni Association. They provide good models in the field and demonstrate excellent character fostered by their alma mater.

From the Watergate scandal in the US in the last century to the suspicion of the integrity of the candidates during the recent Chief Executive election in Hong Kong, journalists have played a crucial role in unveiling the truth. With an inquisitive mind, a sharp sense of observation and perseverance, they painted the whole picture step by step from small clues. Let’s applaud Doris, Ka-yu, all the recipients of the Chinese University Journalism Award, as well as other journalists who have devoted themselves for the benefit of the community.
