It’s still venerable, anyways. 28 years. Globe just can’t beat the fact. I’m sorry I have to say that.

I personally like the Globe better, but in the case of prestige and accuracy, the Post still outdoes the Globe. It’s the number that tells you. Scholars all around the world have referred to the Post when they’re doing their research or looking for historical analysis.

Globe, you will stand next to the Post when you age more.

@felicia: Thanks

@banci: No I don’t get it, lots of awards, journalism or otherwise, require journalists or their papers to submit their work for consideration. If the Post’s reports are, as you say, miles ahead of others then all the more reason why they should be submitted.

@iseng: Sorry, your comment got caught in the spam filter and my finger was too quick and deleted it. Yes, you are correct, Maverick helps to organize the AAS but has no hand in the judging process as it is conducted by an independent panel. Unspun forgot to disclose this in the posting. Was at the back of my mind but forgot to so the fault is mine. Apologies.

Unspun is overatting the Sampoerna award. Journalists should send a copy of their work to get valued by panelist for the award not otherwise. So it makes sense the Post doesn’t get any. Get it? For your record, the award is not that prestigious. The Post’s special report on KPK, Bank Century and Boat People are miles away for the Globe and other Indonesian publications to rival at the moment.

Post isn’t in the nomination because it didn’t send one.
Maybe the reporters are too busy for any awards.
Thanks for writing about AAS.

Regards.
