The Straits Times newsroom has been honoured by the Singapore Exchange (SGX) for its development of an interactive quiz designed to make stock market education more accessible and engaging to general readers. The award recognises the publication's commitment to experiential storytelling that combines journalism with interactive digital elements.
The quiz-based initiative represents a departure from traditional financial reporting, offering users an interactive way to build knowledge about the local bourse and equity investing fundamentals. By gamifying the learning experience, the project demonstrates how news organisations are adapting their content strategies to reach broader audiences and present complex financial topics in more digestible formats.
The SGX award underscores the exchange's support for creative journalism that helps demystify stock market participation among the investing public. As Singapore continues to deepen its capital markets ecosystem, educational initiatives from media organisations play an increasingly important role in building investor literacy.
The recognition adds to growing momentum in Asian newsrooms experimenting with interactive content formats. News organisations across the region are leveraging digital tools to enhance storytelling, particularly in specialist areas such as finance and business reporting where reader engagement has historically been challenging.
