Modern Casting staff earned two writing awards from the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) at the Upper Midwest Region awards banquet in Chicago on April 19. Called the AZBEES, the awards recognize excellence in journalistic reporting for business-to-business and trade publications.
Shannon Wetzel, managing editor, won the silver award in the editorial/editor’s letter category. Wetzel’s entry also was one of the highest scoring submissions in all regions, making her a national AZBEES finalist in this category. The national results will be announced May 10.
Brian Sandalow, associate editor, won the silver award in best company profiles for his article, “Danko Arlington Plots Its Future,” from the June 2017 issue of Modern Casting.
This was Modern Casting’s first time competing in the AZBEES. Over 1,000 entries were submitted to this year’s competition, which includes categories in print, web and design. To explore the award-winning magazine’s new website, click here.
