National Magazine Awards

The National Magazine Awards, also known as the Ellie Awards, honor print and digital publications 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. They are sponsored by the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) in association with Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and are administered by ASME in New York City. The awards have been presented annually since 1966.[1]

The Ellie Awards are judged by magazine journalists and journalism educators selected by the administrators of the awards. More than 300 judges participate every year. Each judge is assigned to a judging group that averages 15 judges, including a judging leader. Each judging group chooses five finalists (seven in Reporting and Feature Writing); the same judging group selects one of the finalists to be the winner of the Ellie Award in that category. Judging results are subject to the approval of the National Magazine Awards Board, which is composed of current and former officers of ASME, the dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and veteran judges.

Finalists in each of the Ellie Award categories receive certificates of recognition. The winner in each category receives a reproduction of Alexander Calder's stabile "Elephant", the symbol of the awards since 1970. Among the notable changes for 2017 are the expansion of the Design and Photography categories to include digital entries and the suspension of the Fiction award.

Current categories

General Excellence

Honors print and digital magazines in several categories based on content and audience.

Businessweek received the first ever award in 1973. No award was given from 1974 through 1980. When General Excellence returned as a category in 1981, it was given to four magazines per year until 1998, when five magazines received General Excellence awards. Six magazines received awards in 2002. From 2003 to 2010, the award went to seven different magazines and in 2011, to eight. Since 2012, the award has gone to six magazines.

Starting 2016, it is defined into four groups: "News, Sports and Entertainment", "Service and Lifestyle", "Special Interest", "Literature, Science and Politics".

1968

  • Newsweek "in recognition of that magazine's development of a new form of editorial analysis and advocacy in its major effort to present America's racial problems. The 'program of action,' published in Newsweek's issue of November 20, 1967, was a 23 page article combining reportage, analysis and opinion under the title 'The Negro in America: What Must Be Done.' The judges considered the project, clearly labeled as a departure from Newsweek’s standard policy, to have been skillfully and responsibly executed. They consider it a useful and important form, when sparingly used, in the news magazine field."

1969

  • American Machinist, a McGraw-Hill trade publication, which was recognized for its special issue, "Will John Garth Make It?" The study of U.S. industry's role in combating unemployment, especially among those that companies might consider unemployable, included Mr. Garth, a 26-year-old high school dropout and parolee.

Certificates of Special Recognition

Identifying one winner was no doubt a challenge for the judges in the first years of the National Magazine Awards. It was decided from the start that Certificates of Special Recognition as well as commendations would be given.


1966

  • Scientific American "for general excellence in its field and, particularly, for its special issue, drawing on many disciplines, dealing with the broad subject of urbanization"
  • Grade Teacher "for its high quality treatment of important new subjects, conspicuously improved use of illustration and practical service to its readership—all within the limitations of a modest budget"
  • Ebony "for imaginative and forceful treatment of social questions as reflected particularly in its issue on 'The White Problem in America'"

1967

  • Motive "for editorial vitality, for tasteful innovation in design, and for forthright treatment of delicate issues that once would have been taboo in religious-affiliated publications"

1968

  • Esquire "for its editorial creativity and diversity its original typographical and pictorial presentation, and its penetrating reporting of character and social trends as exemplified in its submitted article about Jack Ruby"
  • LIFE "for its uncompromising and well documented series exposing the scale of organized crime in the United States and for its pursuit of new facets of the subject"
  • Vogue "for visual grace, wit and innovation accompanied by printed content in harmony with its high graphic standard"

Commendation

Nine titles were commended at the first annual National Magazine Awards. This was the only year such recognition was given.

1966

  • TIME "for the innovation of its well researched, expertly written and balanced series of ‘TIME Essays.’"
  • The New Yorker "for its skillful editing and for its flair for dramatic innovation as demonstrated by its publication of Truman Capote’s ‘In Cold Blood.’"
  • American Machinist "for its comprehensive treatment of the balance of payments problem as it affects industry."
  • Continuum "for its role, as a Roman Catholic magazine of small circulation, in delving into controversy and presenting strong conviction and thorough research in a handsome format."
  • Motive "for skillful and dramatic presentations of major issues in a small-circulation Protestant magazine."
  • Vogue "for its effective use of color in editorial pages."
  • Fortune "for its clear and thoughtful presentations, including its series offering a fresh look at the influence of automation."
  • TV Guide "for dealing thoughtfully with controversial topics in a setting where others might have settled for fan-appeal trivia."
  • LIFE "for overall skill in dealing with contemporary civilization, cultural subjects and public affairs."
