Enjoy a full album of photos from the 60th anniversary Loeb Awards.
Journalists from across the nation gathered at Capitale in New York for the 60th anniversary Gerald Loeb Awards banquet, where the 2017 winners were revealed. Winners of 12 competition categories were named at the ceremony.
Judy D. Olian, dean of UCLA Anderson School of Management and chairman of the G. and R. Loeb Foundation, welcomed guests and honorees, who included Walt Mossberg, executive editor of The Verge and editor-at-large for Recode, recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award; and Fortune’s assistant managing editor, Nicholas Varchaver, who received the Lawrence Minard Editor Award.
The Gerald Loeb Awards are among the highest honors in journalism, recognizing the work of journalists whose contributions illuminate subjects in business, finance and the economy for readers and viewers around the world. Among the guests was veteran business writer Werner Renberg, the first Loeb Award recipient in 1958. Tyler Mathisen, co-anchor of CNBC’s Power Lunch, served as master of ceremonies. Gerald Loeb’s legacy was celebrated with historical footage of the Wall Street icon himself.
Huge congrats to all the gutsy, talented category winners at tonight's #LoebAwards. Real talent takes the stage again and again. pic.twitter.com/fy4Z2K1DlR
