The judges note: “Chiew makes business stories sing. Whether she’s unpacking F1’s economic ripple effect or dissecting Singapore’s hospitality rebound, her writing draws you in with clarity, depth, and style. She doesn’t just report data, she connects the dots, making complex topics feel accessible without dumbing them down.”
Samantha Chiew, Associate Editor at The Edge Singapore, has been named one of this year’s recipients of the Singapore Press Club’s Rising Stars – Young Journalist Award. The accolade recognises her clear, analytical and accessible reporting on business and economic issues. This marks the paper’s third consecutive win at the annual award.
Chiew was commended for her ability to turn complex financial subjects into compelling narratives. Her work — including stories on Formula One’s economic impact and the shifting dynamics of Singapore’s hospitality sector — was highlighted for its depth, coherence and reader engagement.
