According to the evaluation of the Organizing Committee and the Jury, this year, electronic newspaper works have clearly shown the mark of digital transformation in press agencies as well as in the work of journalists. With the advantage of multimedia, electronic newspaper works and works on digital platforms reflect more vividly than printed newspapers and only give way to printed newspapers in the genres of commentary and argumentation.
