TORONTO, (June 7, 2005) — This website was honoured last night by the Canadian Business Press with a Kenneth R. Wilson Award — the most coveted award in business journalism.

TodaysTrucking.com online editor Marco Beghetto and webmaster Martin Smith received the Silver Award in the inaugural Best Website category. Marketing Magazine took home the Gold in the same category, which was judged by Kim Silk of Magic Lantern Group Inc.

The winning websites “reflected the magazine’s brand equity and personality, while offering valuable additional services such as web-only news, articles, links, surveys and information services. Focus is on navigability, download time, usefulness and timeliness of information.”

TodaysTrucking.com is the Canadian trucking industry’s premier online resource for breaking, original news; in-depth features; new products; valuable perspective; and the most detailed events calendar in North America.

Today’s Trucking printed magazine and its sister French language sister publication Transport Routier also fared well in the writing categories. One of Routier editor Steve Bouchard’s two nominations cracked the Top Five, while the other — along with a TT piece by Rolf Lockwood — made the Top 10.

No group of transportation magazines has been honoured with as many KRW Awards as Today’s Trucking, Transport Routier and highwaySTAR magazines. Since 1994, the three magazines have racked up four Gold awards, 6 silvers, and 9 Top Five finishes.

In 2003, Today’s Trucking Editorial Director Rolf Lockwood was given the CBP Harvey Southam Editorial Lifetime Achievement Award — a rare honour given selectively to only those who exemplify leadership in the field of business journalism.
