Hoboken, NJ, August 3, 2010 – The American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) announced Sam Friedman, Editor-in-chief of National Underwriter P&C, as the winner of a Bronze Azbee Award for his weekly editorial column, ‘A View From The Press Box.’

ASBPE is the professional association for editors and writers employed in the business, trade, and specialty press. Every year ASBPE hosts the Awards of Excellence competition, which recognizes the best in editorial, design, and online achievement. A panel of judges selected 10 finalists in categories for publications with revenues of $2 million or more, and of less than $2 million, and then chose a winner in each division.

Friedman received the Bronze Azbee in the Northeast Region (over $2 million revenue category) for two of his opinion articles:

• Spitzers Comeback (May 4, 2009) http://www.property-casualty.com/Issues/2009/May-4-2009/Pages/Spitzers-Comeback.aspx
• The Cult of Greenberg (October 26, 2009) http://www.property-casualty.com/Issues/2009/October-26-2009/Pages/The-Cult-Of-Greenberg.aspx

“It’s truly an honor to receive this prestigious award and recognition from my peers,” said Friedman. “Having served as an ASBPE Award judge a number of times, I appreciate how much outstanding work is being done in b-b journalism, and I’m grateful to have my opinion column chosen as among the best in the business.”
