ATLANTA, June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In an international competition sponsored by the Specialized Information Publishers Association (SIPA), BioWorld Today and Medical Device Daily shared the honor of winning first place in the best daily publication category for 2013.

Additionally, BioWorld Today won first place in the best scientific writing or technical reporting category for an article titled "To Drug the Undruggables, First Think the Unthinkable," written by science editor Anette Breindl. BioWorld Perspectives earned second place in the best blog or commentary category.

"As health care systems around the world continue to evolve to meet the needs of growing and aging populations, it's clear that the development of more effective drugs and efficient medical technologies are major components in the battle to drive down costs, improve quality of life and reduce suffering," said Donald R. Johnston, senior vice president/editorial director at AHC Media, the company which publishes BioWorld Today and Medical Device Daily. "As a result, both the biopharmaceutical and medical device industries are busy, growing industries worthy of dedicated, daily news coverage. We're very proud that the SIPA judges have honored us with this kind of recognition."

BioWorld Today, and its analytical companion, BioWorld Insight, are the biopharmaceutical industry's most respected news sources and have been for more than two decades. All of that information is now leveraged in BioWorld Data, business intelligence for biopharmaceutical executives.

Medical Device Daily is the news service of record for the medical technology industry and is relied on by thousands of industry insiders every business morning.

With more than 100 SIPA awards, AHC (which is part of Thompson Media Group LLC) has won more awards than any other healthcare information provider in the more than 30-year history of SIPA and its predecessor organizations. The awards were given out recently at a ceremony at SIPA's annual conference in Washington, D.C., and covered content that was published in 2012.
