NewsBios seeks nominations for top business journalists

NewsBios, which sells biographies of business journalists to PR shops, is seeking nominations for the top 100 business journalists and the business journalist of the year.

Since 1987, NewsBios and its parent, TJFR, have identified those individual reporters and editors who rise to the top of their profession. In addition to its previous Top 100 and Business Journalist of the Year recognitions, NewsBios has also presented the 30 Under 30 honors to outstanding journalists below the age of 30. NewsBios also administers the Business News Luminaries Awards, a financial journalism hall-of-fame that pays tribute to veteran journalists, both living and deceased.

Members of the news media and public relations professions are invited to submit their nominations for both the Top 100 and Business Journalist of the Year to NewsBios for consideration. Suggestions should be emailed to Top100@newsbios.com. The deadline is Dec. 14, 2007.

The complete list of the Top 100 and a profile of the Business Journalist of the Year will be posted in January 2008.
