Japan's public broadcaster, NHK, has won the Asiavision Award for March for its coverage of the earthquake and tsunami on 11 March.
NHK sent a newsflash for members of Asiavision, the ABU's daily news exchange, shortly after the disaster struck, and provided comprehensive follow-up coverage, including developments at the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
NHK has won widespread praise around the world for its coverage of the disaster, with many broadcasters airing its footage.
It was so quick to warn Japan of a tsunami after the earthquake on 11 March that the Washington Post said it may have saved thousands of lives.
