S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA) is the winner of the internet category of the 2011 ABCR Journalism Prize, awarded by the Brazilian Association of Highway Concessionaires (ABCR). The news report \u201cReady to resurface,\u201d by journalist Isaura Daniel, was picked out as the best among all online vehicles in this year\u2019s edition, which had 96 entries. <\/p>\n
The report, published in June this year, discusses opportunities to investors, especially foreign ones, in highway concessions in Brazil. The ABCR prize selects the best reports published on the Brazilian press about highway infrastructure in the country. Prizes are granted to four categories, in addition to a main special prize.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a recognition of all the work done by ANBA over the last eight years. It rewards the dedication of journalism based on seriousness, truth, and justice,\u201d says Michel Alaby, CEO of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/b>, to which the agency belongs. \u201cIt attests to the appropriateness of ANBA\u2019s editorial guidelines: quality journalism, showcasing Brazil and its reality to the Arabs, and showing the Arabs and their economy to Brazilians,\u201d says Joel Santos Guimar\u00e3es, ANBA\u2019s editor-in-chief and the director of Ag\u00eancia Meios, which designed ANBA\u2019s editorial project and coordinates the agency. <\/p>\n
The ABCR Journalism Prize is the 11th prize ANBA has won. The latest one was granted by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply last year, and the first one was awarded by the National Confederation of Transport (CNT) in 2004, a year after the agency was established. ANBA was created by the Arab Brazilian Chamber with the purpose of facilitating communication between Brazilians and Arabs, showcasing existing opportunities, and portraying the economic and cultural realities of both regions. <\/p>\n
The ANBA website is available in English and Portuguese versions, and receives approximately 1 million page views per month. The agency maintains content reproduction agreements with seven news agencies in the Arab countries: Agence Tunis Afrique Presse, Alg\u00e9rie Presse Service, Emirates News Agency, Kuwait News Agency, Maghreb Arabe Presse, Syrian Arab News Agency, and Yemen News Agency.<\/p>\n
