Al-Masry Al-Youm won four awards at the Excellence in Journalism contest. The contest results were approved by the Journalists' Syndicate on Saturday evening, as well as by the committees of senior journalists judging the contest in every branch.
Ashraf Gamal Ahmad Ismail won the investigative reporting award; Mostafa Ashour won the second place award for local coverage; Maher Hassan won the second place award for jounalism dialogue and Ahmed al-Gazzar won first place in artistic press.
Hisham Younis, a member of the Journalists Syndicate board, published the list of winners on his Facebook page Sunday, pointing out that judging was completely confidential. Each piece of work was given a code and submitted to the committee without the name of its owner to maintain neutrality, he said.
