The Travel Weekly editorial staff was awarded the Jesse H. Neal National Business Journalism Award for outstanding work in the category "Best Single Issue of a Newspaper" for publications with more than $7 million in gross advertising/circulation revenue.
The award, considered the Pulitzer of business media, was accepted by Travel Weekly Editor in Chief Arnie Weissmann in a ceremony at the Mandarin Oriental New York on March 11.
The winning issue was published on Oct. 26, 2009.
"This is a tremendous honor for Travel Weekly and a tribute to the hard work and professionalism of the entire staff," Weissmann said. "Everyone contributed to the winning issue."
The award is administered by the 255-member American Business Media, the trade association for business-information companies. Judging by business-media editors takes place in a three-stage screening process. There were 842 entries this year across multiple categories.
Travel Weekly had been a finalist in this category in 2008 and 2009.
