New
York was the big winner at tonight's National Magazine Awards, where it was
named Magazine of the Year, beating out National Geographic, Time, Esquire
and Glamour. New York also won the Magazine Section award for its
"Strategist" section.
National
Geographic, which led the nominations with eight nods, didn't
leave the ceremony at the New York Marriott Marquis empty-handed—in fact,
editor in chief Chris Johns seemed to be a permanent fixture on the stage. The
magazine took home four awards, for General Excellence in Print (News, Sports
and Entertainment Magazines), Photography, Tablet Magazine and Multimedia.Other General Excellence in Print winners were Vogue (for Service and Fashion Magazines), Martha Stewart Living (Lifestyle), Outside (Special-Interest) and The Paris Review (Literary, Political and Professional). General Excellence in Digital Media went to indie music site Pitchfork, one of the night's two digital natives to win awards, known as Ellies for the elephant-shaped statuettes winners receive. (Slate also received an Ellie for Columns and Commentary.)
New York
magazine and editor-in-chief (since March 2004) Adam Moss capped a great
two days in May by winning the American Society of Magazine Editors' 2013 Magazine of the Year at the May 2 National Magazine
Awards. The honor goes to the publication judged best when the content of its
print and digital editions are combined.
