Gerald Loeb Lifetime Achievement Award winners

The Gerald Loeb Award is given annually for multiple categories of business reporting. Lifetime Achievement awards are given annually "to honor a journalist whose career has exemplified the consistent and superior insight and professional skills necessary to contribute to the public's understanding of business, finance and economic issues."[1] Recipients are given a hand-cut crystal Waterford globe "symbolic of the qualities honored by the Loeb Awards program: integrity, illumination, originality, clarity and coherence."[2] The first Lifetime Achievement Award was given in 1992.[3]

• 2001: Allan Sloan, the Wall Street editor of Newsweek magazine[11]
• 2002: Paul Steiger, the managing editor of The Wall Street Journal[12]

"On the morning of Sept. 11, Managing Editor Paul Steiger and his staff at The Wall Street Journal found themselves on the front line of a terrorists' war when they were forced to flee their office located across the street from the World Trade Center. Although their workplace was in a shambles – and still is even today – they somehow managed to publish a paper the next day.

"That demonstration of unfailing leadership by a top journalist made Steiger the unanimous and nearly instantaneous choice of 14 judges, drawn from top-tier print and broadcast media, for the 2002 Lifetime Achievement Award, the most prestigious honor of the Gerald Loeb Awards for business and financial journalism, presented annually by The Anderson School."[12]

• 2003: Floyd Norris, chief financial correspondent of The New York Times[13]
• 2004: Louis Rukeyser, economic commentator, financial adviser, and host of Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street on CNBC[14]

"Long known for his ability to combine wit with wisdom, Louis Rukeyser has gained both the allegiance of viewers and the admiration of critics. As host of public television’s “Wall $treet Week With Louis Rukeyser,” a post he held from its debut in 1970 until it went off the air in 2002, Mr. Rukeyser each week drew the largest audience in the history of financial journalism, providing millions of viewers with economic analysis delivered in a clear and appealing style. Now he brings that same blend of entertainment, experience, information and insight to his CNBC program.

"Mr. Rukeyser's current position enables him to employ his no-punches-pulled expertise on a broad canvas. He has more than four decades of globe-ranging experience as a television, radio and newspaper correspondent. His remarkable career has straddled three distinct areas of the news: political analysis, foreign correspondence and economic interpretation. Mr. Rukeyser's ability to clarify events in a lively and insightful fashion has made him an internationally celebrated broadcaster, lecturer, editor and author."[14]

• 2005: Byron E. "Barney" Calame, public editor at The New York Times[15]

"Great editors are usually defined by the great stories they have shepherded into print. Less obviously, but equally important, they can be judged by the stories they have kept out of the paper. Barney’s legend at [The Wall Street Journal] is built on his talents in both realms. But Barney is perhaps best known for the way his tremendous news instincts are moored in something of incalculable value to journalism: an extraordinarily powerful moral compass."[15]
