I was waiting at home last night for the news. I figured I’d check the wires or someone would call. As it turned out, NBR Managing Editor Wendie Feinberg called with the good news. The Nightly Business Report team of Darren Gersh, Dana Greenspon, Steve Washington and Sanjay Jha had won a Gerald Loeb Award for a series of reports titled “India’s Promise.”

Darren, Dana and Steve are all assigned to our Washington DC bureau. Sanjay is a television producer in Delhi. Together this team produced both the multi part series as well as the NBR half-hour special “India’s Promise.”

Here’s what the judges had to say...

“With outstanding use of visuals and a unique approach to storytelling, this four-part series explored the rise of India's economy, providing a first-hand look at the implications of the country's rapid development. The stories were distinctive in the way that they visualized, humanized and personalized economic stories, showing the enormity and diversity of India's population. This was an outstanding series from Nightly Business Report that demonstrated how enterprising broadcast journalism can lead to a better understanding of international economic issues.”

You can judge for yourself by watching the NBR series and special “India’s Promise” here on our website.

Congratulations, Darren, Dana, Steve and Sanjay.
