Insurance Business secures numerous industry awards
The sector’s biggest publication scores the industry’s biggest honours
It’s been quite the period of celebration for Insurance Business, as the industry’s global publication scooped a host of award successes.
There is no publication without a fantastic editorial team – and at IB we believe we have the best in the business, something that has been emphasised by the recent honours. Leading the charge was North America editor Jen Frost, who was crowned General Insurance Journalist of the Year at the Headlinemoney Awards, and also won big at the APEX Grand Awards for Publication Excellence for her outstanding piece on the Florida and Louisiana insurance crisis, which you can read by following the link.
Meanwhile, Mia Wallace, senior editor, has also scooped a host of accolades. She won not only the Best Profile/Interview of the Year at the BIBA Media Awards 2023, but also secured the WTW Media Awards 2023 Insurance & Risk Profile of the Year. You can read one of her award winning profile pieces here.
The BIBA Media Awards 2023, also saw recognition for both Jen Frost and Gia Snape, the latter named among the industry’s rising star nominees. Meanwhile, Insurance Business was applauded again at the APEX Grand Awards for Publication Excellence, in the Websites category.
“In Jen, Mia and Gia we have three absolutely outstanding journalists, who have really raised the standard for insurance journalism across the board,” said global editor Paul Lucas. “However, it would be remiss of me not to shout out to the wider team too – all of whom make fantastic contributions and I am sure, in many cases, will be in the running for awards in their own right in the near future.
“Huge thanks should also go to our sponsors, for taking the time to support trade journalism, and to our readers who continue to offer such great support with their reads, listens, views, feedback and participation in our industry surveys. We genuinely appreciate everyone who has given us such wonderful backing.”

Below is an extract from a web page. Evaluate whether the page has a high educational value and could be useful in an educational setting for teaching from primary school to grade school levels using the additive 5-point scoring system described below. Points are accumulated based on the satisfaction of each criterion:

- Add 1 point if the extract provides some basic information relevant to educational topics, even if it includes some irrelevant or non-academic content like advertisements and promotional material.
- Add another point if the extract addresses certain elements pertinent to education but does not align closely with educational standards. It might mix educational content with non-educational material, offering a superficial overview of potentially useful topics, or presenting information in a disorganized manner and incoherent writing style.
- Award a third point if the extract is appropriate for educational use and introduces key concepts relevant to school curricula. It is coherent though it may not be comprehensive or could include some extraneous information. It may resemble an introductory section of a textbook or a basic tutorial that is suitable for learning but has notable limitations like treating concepts that are too complex for grade school students. 
- Grant a fourth point if the extract highly relevant and beneficial for educational purposes for a level not higher than grade school, exhibiting a clear and consistent writing style. It could be similar to a chapter from a textbook or a tutorial, offering substantial educational content, including exercises and solutions, with minimal irrelevant information, and the concepts aren't too advanced for grade school students. The content is coherent, focused, and valuable for structured learning.
- Bestow a fifth point if the extract is outstanding in its educational value, perfectly suited for teaching either at primary school or grade school. It follows detailed reasoning, the writing style is easy to follow and offers profound and thorough insights into the subject matter, devoid of any non-educational or complex content.
