The
criteria for ASBPE’s
Lifetime Achievement
Award (LAA) have been
broadened to include
not only individuals
with direct editorial
experience but also
others who have solidly
contributed
to editorial excellence
in other ways.
“ASBPE
believes there are individuals
who have
mightily contributed
to business-to-business
editorial excellence
who have not been long-time
editors, but who may
have been academicians,
consultants, or art directors,
who should be recognized,” said
committee chair Rob Freedman,
ASBPE immediate past
president and senior
editor of Realtor magazine.
This
marks a significant
and official change
to
the criteria. Last year,
ASBPE honored University
of Missouri journalism
professor emeritus Dr.
Don Ranly, who had been
an editorial practitioner
in his earlier years,
but spent the bulk of
his career in academia
and on the road teaching
business publishing professionals.
The
new LAA criteria
1)
Significant involvement
(25 years or more) with
business publications. Nominees need not currently
hold editorial positions,
and may be retired, but
ideally will have spent
the bulk of their careers
in senior editorial positions
or will have served the
industry in some significant
way. Nominees need not
be members of ASBPE.
Past nominees not selected
in previous years are
encouraged to reapply.
Please provide the nominee’s
current title and employer/business
(if retired, please state
such). Provide a brief
description or résumé of
the nominee’s job
history. Include dates,
job titles, magazines,
companies.
2)
A commitment to editorial
excellence. This may
be demonstrated by general
reputation of their publication(s);
industry-related awards
(e.g., ASBPE Azbees,
Neal Awards, Folio:,
Tabbies); internal company
awards; other forms of
recognition or other
valid measures of editorial
success.
3)
A commitment to the
business/professional
press. Nominees
should be or should have
been involved in lending
their experience and
time to benefit others
in the business press.
For example, this may
be participation in local
or national business
press or related organizations;
corporate or university
teaching; mentoring programs;
or significant research
or publication of articles
on business press issues.
4)
A commitment to the
industry(ies) the nominee’s
publication(s) serve.
Examples might include
committee work with trade
or professional associations
or standards groups;
frequent speaking engagements
at industry events; significant
research or publication
of articles on industry
issues; or significant
advocacy work with government
agencies.
