Gerald Loeb Awards now accepting entries

UCLA Anderson School of Management and the G. and R. Loeb Foundation invite journalists from print, online and broadcast media to submit entries in 14 competition categories and nominations for two career achievement awards for the 2014 Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism.

The Gerald Loeb Awards are the most prestigious honor in business journalism nationwide and were established in 1957 by the late Gerald Loeb, founding partner of E.F. Hutton, to recognize writers, editors and producers who make significant contributions to the understanding of business, finance and the economy for both the private investor and the general public. UCLA Anderson had been presenting the awards since 1973.

All competition categories are classified into either Platform Neutral or Platform Specific groups. Consideration is limited to entries that were published or broadcast in the United States during the calendar year 2013. All entries must be submitted online at www.loeb.anderson.ucla.edu by 11:59:59 p.m. PST on Monday, Feb. 10, 2014.

Nominations will also be accepted for: (1) the Lifetime Achievement Award, which recognizes exceptional career contributions in the field of business, financial and economic news; and (2) the Lawrence Minard Editor Award, which recognizes career contributions in business journalism editing.
