Business Day scoops top awards

Tim Cohen, Business Day's editor-at-large, was named as Sanlam's Financial Journalist of the year 2004 at a special awards ceremony held in Johannesburg this week.

The Business Day journalist also emerged as the winner in the category Economy and Industry for daily papers and the Internet. Hilary Joffe, a senior journalist at Business Day, was pronounced a winner in the Black Economic Empowerment category.

It has been 30 years since the awards were first started with the aim of acknowledging the indispensable role of financial journalism in the modern business world and recognising excellent finance journalists.

The 2004 awards drew 128 entries from 69 journalists representing 23 different publications, Internet news services; radio and television stations. Sanlam's winter school for financial journalists, which was established two years ago as an extension to the awards, will take place in October this year.
