Virginia Business won two national awards for business writing during The Alliance of Area Business Publications' 2020 awards, held virtually on June 25.
Virginia Business won two national journalism awards Thursday at The Alliance of Area Business Publishers’ (AABP) Editorial Excellence awards.
The magazine placed gold in the “best feature” category for freelance writer Greg Weatherford’s November 2019 cover story, “The rise of the millennials,” which focused on the generation’s ascendance as America’s largest workforce population.
In the comments for the gold award, the judges praised Weatherford for a “vital and timely story with a fitting edge to its writing. … Solid anecdotes make for a lively read.”
Another piece by Weatherford, a December 2019 cover story profile of Virginia Economic Development Partnership CEO Stephen Moret, took the silver award for “best personality profile.”
