Nation’s Restaurant News Named Best Media Brand by Jesse H. Neal Awards

Brand also won in the Best Single Issue category for an in-depth report on how the latest generation of teenagers — Gen Z — eats, works and plays


NEW YORK, April 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nation’s Restaurant News, the leading media brand in the foodservice industry, has been named Best Media Brand by the 65th annual Jesse H. Neal Awards, which honor editorial excellence in business media.

The Neal Awards, the Pulitzer Prizes of business-to-business media, judge the Best Media Brand category on a publication’s depth of offerings, journalistic excellence, presentation and service to readers across print, digital media, events and social platforms.

“I’m thrilled for the Nation’s Restaurant News team to receive the Neal Award recognition for overall editorial excellence. There’s no group of journalists more passionate or hardworking than this team,” Nation’s Restaurant News editor-in-chief Jenna Telesca said. “For more than 50 years, Nation’s Restaurant News has continued to evolve to provide the restaurant industry unbiased information through NRN.com, our print publication, our Top 200 interactive database and our awesome events.”

“Nation’s Restaurant News has always been the leading industry media brand, exceeding the needs of our foodservice community with expert, independent business intelligence,” Sarah Lockyer, group publisher of the Informa Restaurant & Food Group. “This highest honor from the Jesse H. Neal Awards is recognition of the hard work, diligent attention to audience needs and true heart that the editorial team brings every day. The result is a brand both our audience and customer partners value greatly.”

Nation’s Restaurant News also won an award for Best Single Issue for its September 24, 2018 issue, which showcased a redesign of the magazine as well as “Teen Vision,” an in-depth report on how the latest generation of teenagers — Gen Z — eats, works and plays.

The Neal Awards, founded by Connectiv in 1955, were presented March 29 at an awards luncheon in New York City.
