YOUR BUSINESS AUTHORITY
Springfield, MO
The awards were handed out Saturday as part of the 142nd MPA Convention at the University of Missouri-Columbia. SBJ garnered a first-place plaque for Best Web Site and a second-place certificate for Best Local Business Coverage.
Judges called SBJ’s Web site, sbj.net, “easy to navigate; boxes of info easy to manipulate; not overwhelming; like online poll; calendar good; advertising not too overwhelming; colors good.”
Earning SBJ the award for business coverage was the publication’s “good use of graphics to help tell stories, especially the ‘Power to the People’ package – a very compelling, thoughtful and well-sourced project. Also, overall good use of the sidebars and nontraditional story forms. Very much like the interactive component of the ‘Eyes & Ears’' column.”
