The Straits Times bagged several awards, including the best in AsiaPacific prize for a World Cup 2022 interactive special, at the annual International News Media Association (Inma) Global Media Awards in New York on Friday.
Winners across 20 categories were announced at the awards ceremony at the Harvard Club, with Norwegian daily Bergens Tidende taking the top honour of global best in show.
ST's World Cup 2022 "hat-trick" package of three interactive specials won first place under the national brands category for best idea to encourage reader engagement, beating out projects by American daily USA Today and Italian daily Corriere della Sera.
The project also clinched the Best in Asia-Pacific title, surpassing other finalists from the region.
The three-part special which was published in the lead-up to the football tournament in Qatar, featured an interactive on the Top 5 most iconic goals scored in Fifa World Cup history; a Goal of the Day game; as well as an interactive exploring the anatomy of World Cup chants.
The special on iconic goals put together by interactive graphics editor Rodolfo Pazos and his team, alongside sports correspondent Sazali Abdul Aziz - used augmented reality to break down historic goals that inspired and astonished.
