SOPA Hong Kong Year-End Drinks – November 19, 2025

The SOPA Year-End Drinks in Hong Kong on November 19 brought together journalists, editors, publishers, and media executives for an evening of thoughtful conversations and renewed connections.

As the industry continues to navigate rapid change, from evolving audience habits to new demands in digital storytelling, the evening offered a valuable space for colleagues across the region to exchange perspectives and reflect on another impactful year in Asian journalism.

Looking ahead to the SOPA Awards in June, we invite newsrooms to submit work that demonstrates rigorous reporting, editorial integrity, and compelling storytelling. The SOPA Awards serve not only as a celebration of excellence but also as a reminder of the vital role that quality journalism plays in informing and shaping our societies.

SOPA remains committed to supporting a strong, independent, and innovative media ecosystem across the Asia Pacific—and we look forward to seeing the outstanding entries this year’s Awards will bring.
