The Los Angeles Business Journal won a first place award for its special section, “Re-Creating Crenshaw,” at the Los Angeles Press Club’s Southern California Journalism Awards.


The section, published in October, explored the little-noticed redevelopment along Crenshaw Boulevard. The award was granted for best business coverage.


“This special report started with good trend-spotting and was fleshed out with deep reporting and real-life examples,” the judges said. “Making it even stronger was creative storytelling like the visual tour of a neighborhood makeover in progress and a Q-and-A with a developer eyeing the once-ignored area.”


Reporters Howard Fine and Daniel Miller were the lead writers on the section.


The Business Journal also won three second-place awards and an honorable mention at the Press Club’s annual gala June 16 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The awards were presented for work published in 2006. The Business Journal competed with other Los Angeles-area newspapers that have a circulation of less than 100,000.


David Nusbaum, the research director who also writes about the business of sports, won second place in the sports category for his interview with Frank McCourt about changes at Dodger stadium.


The staff won second place in the special section category for the Wealthiest Angelenos package.


Todd Cunningham won second place in the headline category for “Arched Rivals,” referring to a duel over the title of “eyebrow queen.”


Photographer Ringo Chiu won an honorable mention in the feature photo category.


Also, the press club gave its President’s Award to Gustavo Arellano for his “Ask a Mexican” column, published in the OC Weekly.


The Daniel Pearl Award was given posthumously to Anna Politkovskaya of the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta.


The Joseph M. Quinn Award was presented to Judy Woodruff of PBS.
