By: E&P Staff On March 23, Editor & Publisher shared top honors at the 52nd annual Jesse H. Neal Awards, the most prestigious in business journalism, by taking home two prizes.
The awards, sponsored by American Business Media, were announced at a luncheon ceremony attended by more than 500 people at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. More than 1,200 entries were accepted for this year's competition.
E&P won for best editorials (written by editor-at-large Mark Fitzgerald) for the fourth consecutive year, and best subject-related series of articles (by associate editor Jennifer Saba for four stories on the newspaper-circulation crisis).
E&P has earned nine Neal Awards since 2002, more than any other publication save one during this period. The magazine received five finalist nods this time around, the second-best showing for any publication in recent years.
Other nominations were for best news coverage (for dozens of print and Web stories on the media and the Iraq war), best series (four features on journalists in Iraq written by senior editor Joe Strupp, Allan Wolper and Barbara Bedway) and best single issue (December 2004).
The award presenters were New York Times financial reporter Diana B. Henriques and Aric Press, editor in chief of American Lawyer. Marshall Loeb presented the Grand Neal.
