Locals Honored for Business Journalism

North Texans who appreciate good media coverage of local business should be heartened by awards just announced by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers. Among several honors for The Dallas Morning News, SABEW named the DMN business section one of the country’s best among large newspapers. (The News had been skunked in this competition for a few years, but then bolstered its section and is watching the effort pay off.) The business-journalism group recognized the Dallas Business Journal for its Web site. And, for the fifth straight year, SABEW named Mitchell Schnurman of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram one of the nation’s best columnists for midsize papers. The great Mitch’s work can also be read regularly in D CEO magazine.
