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.
