Sanjay Jha bags American business journalism award

NEW YORK: A journalist working with Canada-based news website NowPublic, has become the first Indian to win the prestigious Loeb Award -- one of the highest honours in American business journalism.

Sanjay Jha, NowPublic's South Asia Bureau Chief, won the award for television programme "India's Promise", along with PBS Nightly Business Report colleagues Steve Washington, Darren Gersh and Dana Greenspon.

"It is a tremendous honour to be the first Indian recipient of the highly-coveted Loeb Award," Jha said.

"It is my privilege to provide a first-hand account of breaking Indian and South Asian news to NowPublic's enormous network of readers and journalists," he added.

Prior to joining NowPublic, Jha worked with Delhi-based South Asian Bureau of The Guardian and also served as India Producer for the BBC, PBS, France 2 and the Danish Broadcasting Corporation.

"Sanjay has proven himself as an extremely accomplished journalist in just a short time as NowPublic's South Asia Bureau Chief," said Leonard Brody, CEO of NowPublic.

"We're extremely proud and cannot think of a more deserving candidate," he added.

The Loeb Awards were established in 1957 by Gerald Loeb, a financier and founding partner of E F Hutton, to encourage quality reporting in business, finance and the economy. They are presented by Anderson School of Management at the University of Califo rnia, Los Angeles. - PTI
