New Home Source tied with Bloomberg News for top honors in the 65th Annual Journalism Awards from the National Association of Real Estate Editors (NAREE) with seven awards each. The Wall Street Journal was second with six awards.
The journalism awards, presented on Friday, June 26, 2015, at Miami’s InterContinental Hotel capped a four-day meeting attended by more than 150 real estate writers and editors from the nation’s leading newspapers, websites and magazines. To insure impartiality, award judging was done by a retired profession of journalism from Ohio University.
For the second year in a row, Patricia Garcia, BDX Content Manager, was honored with an award for Best Newsletter. This year’s Bronze Award follows up her Gold Award last year for The New Home Source Home of the Week newsletter.
Four other contributors to New Home Source were also honored, led by Camilla McLaughlin, who received three awards for her work for NHS. Also honored for articles for New Home Source were Ken Harney, who also writes a nationally syndicated column for The Washington Post; Marcie Geffner, who contributes to The Los Angeles Times and other media; and Lew Sichelman, who writes a nationally syndicated column on real estate in addition to his work for New Home Source.
The NAREE meeting included speakers and panelists on a variety of topics as well as tours of cutting-edge, Miami area real estate projects. Several CEOs and presidents (as well as six chief economists) spoke from leading organizations and companies that included the National Association of Home Builders, Crescent Communities, the National Association of Realtors, leading MLSs and brokers, and Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Homes.com.
Other media honored included The New York Times, The Washington Post, Seattle Times, Bankrate.com, The Denver Post, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Inman News, The Boston Globe, Reuters, Consumer Reports, Professional Builder, The Chicago Tribune, RealtyTrac Reports, The Houston Chronicle, The Dallas Business Journal, The New York Daily News, The Arizona Republic and others.
For the second year in a row, Jay McKenzie, BDX Director of Content and Social Media, was a panelist and speaker on new media models emerging in real estate. Patricia Garcia, BDX Content Manager, represented New Home Source again this year in a round of three-minute Meet the Press meetings with attendees at the event.
BDX is very proud of New Home Source’s recognition by NAREE and applaud our winners!
