At a time when misinformation is rampant, nothing compares to the work of a true journalist. Contrary to what others might think, motoring journalism isn’t just about attending industry events and testing out new cars. Even in the automotive industry, journalists pride themselves on integrity, delivering the stories that matter in the most truthful way possible.

Ford Philippines believes in the importance of accurate and relevant journalism, so it continues holding its annual Henry Ford Awards. Here, print, online and broadcast media members are encouraged to submit their respective works. After which, a panel of distinguished professionals from marketing, public relations, digital publishing, audio-visual production, and even educators of journalism choose the best of the best for the year.
