Oct 01, 2009

Two NRI journalists are among the four winners of the prestigious 2009 Knwoledge@Wharton for business journalism. The award is co-sponsored by South Asian Journalists Association (SAJA), the Wharton School and the Knowledge@Wharton business journal. Sonia Narang, a NBC News journalist in New York and Sanjay Bhatt, an enterprise reporter for The Seattle Times are the two NRI winners of this celebrated award. Along with the award the two NRIs will also receive scholarship to attend Wharton seminars for business journalists at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, which will be held in October.

“A mortgage crisis, global market turmoil, federal, state and local government budget cuts and tracking federal stimulus money. It`s clear that economic and business coverage is important no matter what beat a journalist covers,” said SAJA president Sandeep Junnarkar. The award was launched joint ventured by SAJA and Knowledge@Wharton in 1999 and later expanded. “Knowledge@Wharton seeks to disseminate the knowledge behind the news, and the continuing support of the Knowledge@Wharton Awards for SAJA and the UNITY organizations fits in well with this mission,” said Mukul Pandya, editor of Knowledge@Wharton. “We are delighted to welcome this year‘s winners to the Wharton Seminars.” SAJA reported.
