2023 Loeb Awards Finalists for Highest Honors in Business Journalism
In 1973, Gerald Loeb entrusted the Loeb Foundation & Awards to UCLA Anderson thanks to his close friendship with Dean Harold Williams. Ever since, we have taken pride in supporting the power of journalism and preserving Mr. Loeb’s legacy of encouraging and acknowledging business and finance reporting that educates and safeguards private investors and the public. The Loeb Awards are regarded as the highest accolade in business journalism in the United States.
