HOUSTON – Ralph Bivins, editor of RealtyNewsReport, has been named a winner in the “Best Commercial Real Estate Report” category of the National Association of Real Estate Editors 63rd Annual Journalism Awards.
Award winners in 25 categories were selected by a panel of expert judges from the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University.
Bivins’ article about the sale of the Exxon Mobil skyscraper in downtown Houston for CultureMap.com received a Bronze Award in the national competition.
Judges provided this comment about Bivins’ work for CultureMap: “This breaking news article focused on the purchase of the Exxon Mobil tower in Houston. It is a great example of an explanatory story that shows the possible ramifications of a purchase of this magnitude.”
The award ceremony took place at the NAREE Annual Real Estate Journalism Conference in Atlanta last week. Daniel DiClerico of Consumer Reports won NAREE’s Platinum Award for Best Overall Entry and Nancy Keates of the Wall Street Journal took the Gold Award for Best Collection of Work.
