Alliance of Area Business Publisher's 2025 Journalist of the Year Mark Friedman recently received more accolades — two Gold awards for Best Scoop and Best Investigative Reporting, the latest of many for the Arkansas Business senior editor.

“With more than half of adults getting their news from social media, journalists are more important than ever,” he said. “Being a
journalist requires attention to detail and a commitment to be fair and accurate. I enjoy knowing that I have provided people with information they would otherwise not have known or that they now understand a complex topic or policy.”
