The Triangle Business Journal, located in Raleigh, N.C., and the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal won theGeneral Excellence awards given by its parent company, American City Business Journals, at an awards ceremony last week.
“The award was based on the March 13 issue in which the TBJ examined the impact of the severe downturn in the construction industry in the Triangle that has resulted in thousands of people losing their jobs.
“The judges wrote of the issue, ‘A great issue should offer breaking news, compelling enterprise, industry forecasts and great graphics to add depth. Original reporting is the hallmark of this issue with an exceptional analysis of how construction contracts have evaporated, sending employment into a tailspin, and how illegal moving firms are defrauding customers.'”
“The judges wrote of the issue, ‘A state with budget problems of historic proportion requires a publication to blaze new trails in covering it. This issue explores how businesses must cope in the new Red Ink era of the once-golden California economy.’
“Another part of the issue cited by the judge’s was the special section in that issue about the state of Silicon Valley start-ups, as told through the weekly Business Journal feature called The Pitch.”
