Newspapers

LABJ wins a few

The Los Angeles Business Journal won the top prize for best large newspaper and best feature story ("Rich Kids," about the offspring of wealthy parents) and staffer Amanda Bronstad won bronze for best body of work by a single reporter in the awards given this weekend by the Association of Area Business Publications. The judges said of the LABJ, edited by Mark Lacter:

This journal covers the political side of business like no other competitor in this category. In addition, it includes a wealth of enterprise reporting, good story variety, and solid in-depth coverage. In fact, the paper is jam-packed with copy, but still easy to navigate, with a useful table of contents and well-packaged, tightly edited "news you can use" items.

I'll bet you didn't know that the the Association of Area Business Publications is based on Wilshire Boulevard.
