The Gerald Loeb Award, also referred to as the Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism, is a recognition of excellence in journalism, especially in the fields of business, finance and the economy.[1][2][3][4] The award was established in 1957 by Gerald Loeb, a founding partner of E.F. Hutton & Co.[1] 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.[4]
[edit] Gerald LoebMain article: Gerald M. Loeb 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.[4][5] Born in 1899, Loeb began his investing career in 1921 in the bond department of a brokerage firm in San Francisco, California.[6] 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.[6] 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.[6] Loeb offered a contrarian investing viewpoint, in books and columns in Barron's, The Wall Street Journal, and Investor Magazine.[4][6] Forbes magazine called Loeb "the most quoted man on Wall Street."[7] He created the Gerald Loeb Award in order to foster further quality reporting for individual investors.[4] [edit] The AwardThe award has been administered by the UCLA Anderson School of Management since 1973, and is sponsored by the G. and R. Loeb Foundation.[2][8][9][10] It is regarded as: "business journalism's highest honor," and its "most prestigious."[11][12][13][14] 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,[15] 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.[1][16] Those honored receive a cash prize of USD$2,000, and are presented with the award at a ceremony in July of the year following their piece's publication.[1] The preliminary judging committee includes business, financial and economic journalists, as well as faculty members from the UCLA Anderson School of Management.[17] 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.[17] The final panel of judges is chaired by the dean of the UCLA Anderson School of Management.[17] Entries are judged according to their originality, news value, writing quality, thoroughness and balance, and production value.[17] [edit] See also
