Investor´s Business Daily Wins DPAC Award for Best Branded Digital Magazine

Los Angeles, California, December 10, 2009 – Investor´s Business Daily´s digital edition, called eIBD^TM, has won the 2009 DPAC Award for Best Branded Digital Magazine. eIBD was also named a finalist for Best Digital Integrated Content and Best Publishing Platform Innovation. The DPAC Awards "honor overall excellence and breakthrough achievement in Digital Publishing and Advertising." The award was announced at a gala event in New York City on December 8.

This is Investor´s Business Daily´s fourth national award this year for its new online design and strong functionality. In addition to the DPAC award, IBD´s companion website, Investors.com, received the 2009 IMA Outstanding Achievement Award, the 2009 WebAward for Best Investment Website and the 2009 Silver Award in the financial services website category.

"We completely redesigned Investors.com and eIBD with some of the best experts in the business," says Harlan Ratzky, VP of Investors.com. "We relaunched Investors.com in April with the objective of becoming the go-to investing resource for market analysis, as well as early emerging trend data. Combine that with the #1 growth investing strategy and education, and it became a winning combination. We´re seeing that all the redesign efforts paid off since the average time spent on site, average page views, and average number of visits are all consistent leader categories in the investing arena."

IBD was one of the first newspapers to make its complete edition available online. The high audience response as well as many awards continues to show eIBD is a leader in digital innovation. "Serious investors rely on IBD´s one-of-a-kind stock screens, market education and efficient navigation options," says Ratzky. "These new functions make it easier to find emerging leaders faster."
