The Society of American Business Editors and Writers has named the winners in its 11th annual Best in Business contest, which recognizes the best overall publications, as well as best breaking news, enterprise and special projects reporting in business journalism during 2005.
The contest received 850 entries from daily newspapers, business weekly newspapers, magazines, wire services, and business news online sites — up 32 percent over last year’s contest. Much of the growth was due to a new category for columnists, which proved to be an instant hit with 147 entries.
The SABEW Best in Business contest was started in 1995 to help set standards and recognize role models for outstanding business journalism.
