BusinessWorld Labor and Management columnist Rey Elbo was recognized this month by Spain’s IE University in Madrid, organizer of the Ibero-American and Asian Economic Journalism Awards. 

Mr. Elbo, who writes the BusinessWorld column In the Workplace, won for Asian economic journalism with “What’s the best employee feedback mechanism?,” published in August 2019. 

The award was presented in Madrid on March 23 at the Palacio de Linares. 

The awards recognize the best journalism with an economic focus published in Latin America and Asia. This year, the awards committee evaluated over 150 submissions. 

“It is important to recognize and shine light on leading journalism in the fields of Economics and Business, which intersects with the academic world to help us understand the world, its complexity and to anticipate its development. The work being recognized today fulfills this very important mission,” said Manuel Muñiz, provost of IE University.  

The seventh edition of the economic journalism awards for Asia also recognized VietNamNet for Best Regional Media in Asia and Wu Chen of China’s Economic Observer for his article, “Latin America, another lost decade,” which won the award for Best Article on Latin American Economy in Asia.
