The San Fernando Valley Bar Association is pleased to announce that Valley Lawyer Magazine has been recognized by the Los Angeles Press Club with a Southern California Journalism Award for Best In-House/Corporate Publication.
The 57th Annual Southern California Journalism Awards were announced on June 28 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. The Los Angeles Press Club is dedicated to the growth and conservation of quality journalism. On hand to accept the award were Editor Irma Mejia, Executive Director Liz Post and Editorial Committee Member and SFVBA Past President David Gurnick.
Valley Lawyer won for its November 2014 New Lawyers’ Issue featuring a cover story on World War II veterans and the wisdom they have to share with younger generations. Featured in that cover story are Ninth Circuit Appellate Court Judge Harry Preggerson, workers’ compensation Judge Donald Foster (Ret.), SFVBA Past President Albert Ghirardelli, and retired attorney James Fizzolio. The panel of judges from press clubs nationwide praised Valley Lawyer for its variety of engaging features and departments. “The editors have produced a good mix of features, columns and service/advice stories in this issue, which keeps things interesting as a reader moves through the book. Interactive components, like a quiz, and advice stories, like an article offering tips on content marketing a solo practice, are good ‘news you can use’ elements for readers.” The award-winning issue can be viewed at http://bit.ly/1FuGVr6.
