Congratulations to our winners of 5 Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) Best in Business awards for 2010!

These wins demonstrate the success of our efforts in multimedia, commentary and enterprise reporting.

We had two winners in the category of Creative Use of Multiple Platform: The Frontier Markets web site (John Meehan, Claudia Parsons, Manuela Badawy, Danial Clark, Jeff Chen and the global team) won for the combined use of video, text, graphics and data to tell the story of countries with rapidly developing economies. The second was the iPad Teardown package (Gabriel Madway, Molly Riley, Greg Savoy, Richard Baum, Deborah Lutterbeck) won for its investigative reporting, live blog and visuals that peeled apart the iPad launch and identified its components.

Our 4-month investigation of Wellpoint (Murray Waas and Jim Impoco), showed the health insurer targeted breast cancer patients to cancel their policies, was a winner in the SABEW’s Investigative category. This was a example of how combing records, interviewing and analyzing materials can result in an agenda-setting story.
