FCW NAMED AS A 2018 JESSE H. NEAL AWARDS FINALIST

MCLEAN, VA, Feb. 22, 2018 -- 1105 Public Sector Media Group is honored to have FCW chosen as a finalist for the 2018 Jesse H. Neal Awards.  FCW's ongoing coverage of the Census Bureau's struggles to prepare for the 2020 count is being recognized in the category of Best Series.

"The census is our government's biggest civilian undertaking, and the technology and management challenges are massive," FCW Editor-in-Chief Troy K. Schneider said.  "This type of government IT story -- reported in depth, long before national media outlets start paying attention -- is why federal IT leaders read FCW every day.  So it's very gratifying to see that work recognized by our industry peers as well."

“We are thrilled that FCW is a finalist in this extremely competitive field,” said 1105 Public Sector Media Group President & Chief Content Officer Anne Armstrong. “This recognition reaffirms our commitment to provide the best news coverage, analysis and insight for the government technology market.”
