Bloomberg News publications received 11 honors, Fortune reaped seven, and The Wall Street Journal five. Three news outlets received four honors apiece: The Associated Press, Crain’s New York Business and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
SABEW overhauled the contest in 2016 to better reflect journalism’s digital focus. This year’s entries were judged almost entirely by subject matter, regardless of format. To maintain fairness and competitiveness, news outlets competed against others of similar staff size.
“We’re living in a golden age for business journalism,” said SABEW president Cory Schouten in a statement. “The quality, depth, creativity, and impact of this year’s Best in Business entries were inspiring — and our judges faced a very difficult task winnowing the field.”
Contest honorees will be celebrated at a ceremony Saturday, April 29, during the 54th annual SABEW conference at the Westin Seattle hotel.

There are far too many winners. Contest should be narrowed down a bit to focus on the best of the best. The awards ceremony is going to be long!
