For the second consecutive year, the Los Angeles Business Journal has won the top award for overall excellence among weekly business newspapers from the Alliance of Area Business Publications.
Editor Charles Crumpley writes, “The Business Journal won the honor, called the gold award, in the Best Newspaper contest, at an awards banquet June 26 in Indianapolis. The Business Journal won five other awards from the AABP, which is the professional association for weekly and monthly business publications.

“‘Someone once told me that awards don’t matter – unless you win them. Well, I’m here to tell you they matter,’ said Publisher Matt Toledo. ‘I couldn’t be more proud of the dedication and leadership provided by Charles Crumpley, my editor. Each week he starts with a fresh canvas and pulls together a great issue by inspiring and challenging our reporters and editors to produce the best work they are capable of.
