Named in honor of the former editor in chief of Newsweek, who also served as president of the American Society of Magazine Editors and dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, the Osborn Elliott Scholarship is awarded to students who intend to pursue careers in magazine journalism. For more information about the scholarship or to make a direct contribution, please visit journalism.columbia.edu. EllieAwards.org The National Magazine Awards for Print and Digital Media honor magazines and websites that consistently demonstrate superior execution of editorial objectives, innovative techniques, noteworthy enterprise and imaginative design. Originally limited to print magazines, the awards now recognize magazine-quality journalism published in any medium. Founded in 1966, the awards are sponsored by the American Society of Magazine Editors in association with the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and are administered by ASME. This year, National Magazine Awards will be presented in 24 categories. Finalists in each category will receive certificates of recognition. Each winner will receive an “Ellie,” modeled on the symbol of the awards, Alexander Calder’s stabile “Elephant Walking.” The recipients of the ASME lifetime-achievement award, the ASME Award for Fiction and the ASME NEXT Awards for Journalists Under 30 will also be honored. Awards entry, judging and presentation will take place later this year than in previous years because of the public-health crisis. The deadline for entries is Tuesday, January 12, 2021. The judging will be conducted virtually in mid-March. Finalists and winners are scheduled to be honored at Brooklyn Steel, in the Williamsburg neighborhood of New York City, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 10, 2021. Among the notable changes for 2021 are the discontinuation of the Website category (digital-only publications are encouraged to enter General Excellence instead) and the introduction of a new award for community journalism. ASME will also present a special award for coverage of race in America. ASME members will again be able to enter three entries in any award in which the previous limit was two. Because the judging will be conducted virtually, the submission of print magazines is no longer required except in the General Excellence, Design and Photography categories. Given the importance to magazines and websites of diversity in staffing and coverage, ASME now asks all publications entering the National Magazine Awards to provide information about the gender and ethnicity of editorial staff as well as efforts by editorial leaders to address issues of equity and inclusion. This information will be used by ASME to evaluate the composition of the editorial workforce at magazines and websites in general and will also be provided to judges in General Excellence as explained in the section on entry statements on page 5 and the category description on page 6. Deadline for Entry: January 12, 2021 See page 13 for more information Finalists Announced on Twitter: April 8, 2021 For more information, email [email protected] To enter, go to EllieAwards.org WHO CAN ENTER THE AWARDS 12 Print entries that include content funded or produced in partnership by two or more media organizations will not be accepted in any category in which one of the partners has already submitted All consumer and business magazines and websites edited and published in the United States are eligible the maximum number of entries allowed.

Book printing was started in 15th & 16 th Century in Europe. • The emergence of Print Media created doubts in the minds of the rulers and they took it as a threat against their rule. The rulers presumed that people would become aware of their rights and they will challenge the authority. So most of the rulers in Europe took it as a revolt and declared capital punishment for the persons involved in Mass Media. In 1663, the last capital punishment was given to a publisher because he published a book of an anonymous writer. This book contained the idea that rulers are accountable for their deeds and decisions to the masses and if any ruler does not feel himself accountable then masses have the right to overthrow his rule. This was the last capital punishment that was awarded in the history of England.

Professor John Fennell Professor Jennifer Rowe Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Maureen Stanton ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am immensely grateful to my thesis chair, John Fennell, who believed in both the necessity for and the feasibility of this research. When many doubted the ability to interview prominent magazine professionals, John provided support and guidance while always keeping setbacks and successes in perspective. John has been a mentor from first semester of graduate school when I enrolled in his writing course, and I am so pleased that I could pursue a topic I am incredibly passionate about with his guidance. However, this research would naturally not be what it is without the rest of my fabulous committee. Jennifer Rowe, my other mentor, adviser and friend, was an invaluable resource, as she provided big-picture edits, line edits and, most importantly, support. Amanda Hinnant provided advice in the earliest days of thesis conception as well as the scholarly perspective necessary in any academic work. Maureen Stanton was also a wonderful resource, imparting an outside, nonfiction mindset that added another dimension to this journalistic thesis.

  • Acknowledgments
    Acknowledgments his edition of Best American Magazine Writing collects Tarticles honored by the American Society of Magazine Editors at the presentation of the National Magazine Awards in March 2019. The Best American Magazine Writing series began in 2000 and has been published by Columbia Uni- versity Press since 2005, but the history of the National Maga- zine Awards dates to the early 1960s, when ASME and Colum- bia University founded the program as a counterpart to the Pulitzer Prize. More than half a century later ASME continues to sponsor the awards in association with the Columbia School of Journalism. The first National Magazine Award— there was only one award presented in the first four years of the program— was presented to Look in 1966 for “its skillful editing, imagination and editorial integrity, all of which were reflected particularly in its treatment of the racial issue during 1965.” Look at the time was one of the largest general interest magazines in the United States, with a cir- culation of more than 7 million, but from the beginning ASME strove to honor a broad range of publications. The same yearLook won the first National Magazine Award, three magazines—Ebony , Grade Teacher, and Scientific American— were presented Certifi- cates of Special Recognition, and nine received commendations, including the New Yorker for “its flair for dramatic innovation xx Acknowledgments as demonstrated by its publication of Truman Capote’s ‘In Cold Blood,’ ” Time for “its well researched, expertly written and bal- anced series of ‘TIME Essays,’ ” and Vogue for “its effective use of color in editorial pages.” In 2019, the New Yorker, Time, and Vogue were again among the National Magazine Awards honorees, but the categories in which they were finalists go far toward explaining the changes that have overtaken both the awards program and the very nature of magazine journalism in recent years.
