Thirteen prizes to Schibsted in INMA Global Media Awards

The INMA Global Media Awards are known for recognizing outstanding achievements in the media industry, celebrating initiatives that drive growth and engage audiences worldwide. On Thursday, April 25, this year's awards were handed out in a gala ceremony in London.

On top of the Schibsted list was most definitely Bergens Tidende, with two first places, one second place and one third place. But also Stavanger Aftenblad, Omni, Aftenposten, Schibsted Media, VG and Aftonbladet received awards.

- Significant acknowledgment

Chief Editor Trond Olav Skrunes in Bergens Tidende is very happy with the awards:

"This is a significant acknowledgment for Bergens Tidende, and a clear indication that we have many talented people who repeatedly manage to elevate BT to new heights. We've also noticed that we get attention from other media outlets at international conferences like this. In fact, some people we meet say they subscribe to BT just to follow what we're doing. It's pretty surprising, but definitely fun."

- Remarkable

"Once again, several of our media outlets are making a splash internationally, competing with projects from across the globe. It's really remarkable. Bergens Tidende, in particular, is making a strong impression at this awards ceremony. It shows that you don't need huge resources if you're passionate, clever, and create journalism and content that meets the audience's needs," says Siv Juvik Tveitnes, EVP Schibsted News Media.
