The Gerald Loeb Award is given annually for multiple categories of business reporting. The "Local" category was awarded for business, financial, or economic stories centered in a geographic area intended for consumers in that area from a local newspaper, magazine, television station, radio station, or website. "Local" replaced "Small & Medium Newspapers" in 2015.
