My interest this year was whether the Wall Street Journal's John Carreyrou would be a finalist for his series on Theranos.
He is.
From UCLA's Anderson School of Management via BusinessWire:
Judy D. Olian, chairman of the G. and R. Loeb Foundation Inc. and dean of UCLA Anderson School of Management, today announced the finalists of the 2016 Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism. She also announced the recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Lawrence Minard Editor Award....MORE
The 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient is Paul Ingrassia, former managing editor of Reuters. This annual award recognizes an individual whose career exemplifies the consistent and superior insight and professional skills necessary to further the understanding of business, financial and economic issues.
Amy Stevens, executive editor, professional news at Reuters, will receive the 2016 Lawrence Minard Editor Award, named in memory of Laury Minard, founding editor of Forbes Global and a former final judge for the Loeb Awards. This award honors excellence in business, financial and economic journalism editing, and recognizes an editor whose work does not receive a byline or whose face does not appear on-air for the work covered.
Ingrassia and Stevens will receive their career achievement awards at the 2016 Gerald Loeb Awards banquet and celebration on Tuesday, June 28, 2016, at Capitale in New York City. Winners in the 12 competition categories will also be announced during the banquet.
The banquet and celebration is attended by the most influential journalists, publishers and producers in the nation. This year’s event will be hosted by Tyler Mathisen, co-anchor of CNBC’s Power Lunch. The official invitation, with ticket, table, sponsorship and advertising information can be viewed at http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/loebawardsbanquet.
