Yonhap News Agency’s digital product won the silver award for its digital innovation at the Asia Digital Media Conference 2024 held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the award’s organizer said Wednesday.
“Yonhap GAMES,” launched in February, was selected as the runner-up for the “Most Innovative Digital Product” category, organized by the World Association of News Publishers (WAN-IFRA).
The product is a news supplementary content service designed for logged-in members, aimed at allowing readers to enjoy news content in a game format.
