Awards

Society of American Business Editors and Writers Best in Business

2012 - General Excellence / Digital: All sizes

In an election season shaped by the economy and Mitt Romney’s business background, Politifact stood out for its original work demystifying ads and political statements for the public. The site’s thorough pieces make you feel like you’re sleuthing right along with the reporter. Filings, interviews and assorted news sources give the site’s investigations authority. Politifact added more fresh reporting on these important political/business stories than many of the so-called traditional business sites this past year. (Awarded to Louis Jacobson, Becky Bowers, Molly Moorhead, Bill Adair, Angie Drobnic Holan)

Society of American Business Editors and Writers Best in Business

2008 - General Excellence / Large websites

This site offers a clear focus on its region and seems to know its market extremely well. Neighborhood Watch page, group content, multimedia and overall look are impressive, especially for a site that is local in nature. In addition, this in-depth coverage of the community can serve as an example of how news can be presented in attractive and comfortable fashion to viewers who have previously been more accustomed to reading newspapers. (Awarded for work as online business editor for the St. Petersburg Times, now the Tampa Bay Times.)
