Two New Jersey Business magazine staff members were honored by the Garden State Journalists Association (GSJA) for their writing and design work. 

At the Association’s recent 67th Annual Memorial Journalism Awards dinner held at the Chart House in Weehawken, Managing Editor George Saliba won a third place award in the business/financial reporting category for his article “Avoiding and/or Mitigating Crises.” In the article – which was the cover story for the November 2013 issue – lawyers, CPAs and public relations professionals give small businesses advice on how to best avoid, prepare for and handle a crisis situation.

Art Director Mike Sanchez received two awards in the magazine front cover layout category. He was awarded: a first place for the September 2013 issue, which featured a design for the “Combatting Fraud in NJ” cover story; and a second place for the October 2013 issue, which featured a design for “Christie versus Buono: The Gubernatorial Battle” cover story.

Additionally, Sanchez was recognized by New York-based Graphic Design USA with a 2014 American Inhouse Design Award for the magazine’s 2014 media kit design.
