“World Mission” magazine bags two more Awards

After having been distinguished as the Best Local Community/Parish Newspaper (magazine) for three consecutive years (2007, 2008 and 2009), by the CMMA, the magazine was awarded a Hall of Fame trophy by the same awarding body in 2010. In all, WM has won 11 awards in the Church-run contest promoted by the archdiocese of Manila.

The CMMA is a widely-respected institution recognized for its highest standards, giving merits to the best media practices and high distinctions to excellent works in journalism, broadcast and new media. This year’s ceremony was held at the Star City Theatre in Manila, last September 25.

Working on very limited resources, WM continuously pushes the boundaries to deliver outstanding reporting. The two new awards added to its gallery of honor are testaments of remaining true to its core mission of being more than a window to the world as a platform that provides intelligent analysis of the most important social issues, shares missionary experiences, and promotes justice, peace and integrity of creation.

After 24 years of publication, WM has remained the only missionary magazine published in the Philippines today, thereby with an added responsibility to keep alive in the Far East the ideal of mission without borders.
