They Like Us!

Good news greeted me this morning: The Bloomberg BusinessWeek Small Business Channel (yes, that's what we're calling it these days) has been named a finalist for a Neal Award in the "best website" category. My Smart Answers columns (and formerly my weekly podcast) run twice a week on the site.

What's a Neal? Let's ask American Business Media, which sponsors the awards:

Called “the Pulitzer Prize of the business press,” the Neal Awards are the industry’s most prestigious and sought-after editorial honors. Established in 1955, the Neal Awards recognize and reward editorial excellence in business-to-business publications. They are named after American Business Media's first
managing director, who remained active in promoting the business press throughout his life.

My editors will find out at a NYC luncheon on March 11 if we won. I hope they are working on their acceptance speeches.
