Best business reporting from abroad in newspapers or wire services
AWARD YEAR: 2002
AWARD NAME: The Malcolm Forbes Award 2002
RECIPIENT: Evelyn Iritani, Marla Dickerson
AFFILIATION: The Los Angeles Times
HONORED WORK: “China: The Giant Awakes”
China’s stunning economic surge has been one of the biggest — and most covered — business stories of recent years. In a crowded field, the energy, perceptiveness, wide-ranging reporting and lively writing of Iritani and Dickerson in the Los Angeles Times stood out. The series was especially good in driving home what China’s economic surge means to the paper’s readers in Southern California and to the U.S. economy.
