Industry Dive’s 16 Neal Award category finalists illustrate newsroom’s expertise and reporting skill
The Software & Information Industry Association announced today that Industry Dive publications are Neal Awards finalists for Best Website, Best eNewsletter, Best Industry Coverage, Best News Coverage and Best Single Article, among others. In all, Industry Dive earned 16 finalist spots across 10 different publications — the most it has ever earned — and it is one of the companies with the most finalists among the 236 selected.
The Jesse H. Neal Awards are the most prestigious editorial honors in the field of specialized journalism. Named after Jesse H. Neal, the first managing director of American Business Media, the Neal Awards were established in 1955 to recognize and reward editorial excellence in business media.
"To have so many finalists for the Neal Awards is a testament to our journalistic ambition and execution," said Industry Dive Editor-in-Chief Davide Savenije. "From COVID-19 to climate change, our newsroom brings deep insights to our executive audiences on a wide range of critical industry issues. The work highlighted by today's Neal Awards nominations shows how we cover the most important trends and storylines in the markets we serve — and the impact the best journalism in b2b can have on its readership."
The Neal Awards winners will be announced April 26 at a ceremony in New York.
