American journalism award
The
Gerald Loeb Awards
, also referred to as the
Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism
, is a recognition of excellence in
journalism
, especially in the fields of
business
,
finance
and the
economy
.
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]
The award was established in 1957 by
Gerald Loeb
, a founding partner of
E.F. Hutton & Co.
[2]
Loeb's intention in creating the award was to encourage reporters to inform and protect private investors as well as the general public in the areas of business, finance and the economy.
[5]
Gerald Loeb
[
edit
]
Loeb first became known for his book
The Battle for Investment Survival
, which was popular during the
Great Depression
and is still considered a classic.
[5]
[6]
Born in 1899, Loeb began his investing career in 1921 in the bond department of a brokerage firm in
San Francisco, California
.
[7]
He moved to New York in 1921 after joining with E. F. Hutton & Co., and became vice-chairman of the board when the company incorporated in 1962.
[7]
The
Wall Street Crash of 1929
greatly affected Loeb's investing style, and in his 1971 book
The Battle for Stock Market Profits
, he viewed the market as a battlefield.
[7]
Loeb offered a
contrarian investing
viewpoint, in books and columns in
Barron's
,
The Wall Street Journal
, and
Investor Magazine
.
[5]
[7]
Forbes
magazine called Loeb "the most quoted man on Wall Street."
[8]
He created the Gerald Loeb Award in order to foster further quality reporting for individual investors.
[5]
The awards
[
edit
]
The awards have been administered by the
UCLA Anderson School of Management
since 1973, and is sponsored by the G. and R. Loeb Foundation.
[3]
[9]
[10]
[11]
It is regarded as: "business journalism's highest honor," and its "most prestigious."
[12]
[13]
[14]
[15]
Beginning with just two winners in 1958 (Werner Renberg and David Steinberg) and expanding to three in the final years before the Anderson School began to administer the award,
[16]
today there are ten categories in which prizes are awarded: large newspaper, medium newspaper, small newspaper, magazine, commentary, deadline or beat writing, wire services, and television.
[2]
[17]
Those honored receive a cash prize of
US$
2,000, and are presented with the award at a ceremony in July of the year following their piece's publication.
[2]
The preliminary judging committee includes business, financial and economic journalists, as well as faculty members from the UCLA Anderson School of Management.
[18]
Once the finalists are selected, a final panel of judges consisting of representatives from major print and broadcast outlets selects a winner from each category.
[18]
The final panel of judges is chaired by the dean of the UCLA Anderson School of Management.
[18]
Entries are judged according to their originality, news value, writing quality, thoroughness and balance, and production value.
[18]
Award categories
