SABEW’s Best in Business adds two new categories

The Society of American Business Editors and Writers annual Best in Business contest is adding two new categories — one in covering small business and one in covering technology.

Mark Scarp of the SABEW staff writes, “These categories join Personal Finance and Real Estate as categories that recognize excellence in reporting on topics unique to business journalism.

“SABEW also introduces Innovation: a category that will recognize creative and bold initiatives across all facets of business journalism, from exciting new apps to interesting storytelling experiments. This replaces Creative Use of Multiple Platforms.

“In other contest developments, Blogs, formerly a separate category, will merge with the Opinion/Column category in each division to create an overall Commentary category.

“This year’s contest opens with an Early Bird Period on Dec. 4: This year’s entrants will be able to enter at last year’s prices, which will be posted on sabew.org along with other contest information. The final deadline for entries will be Jan. 29, 2013. Winners will be announced at our 50th anniversary annual conference in Washington, D.C., April 4-6.”
