Foreign Policy Wins National Magazine Award, Industry's Highest
Honor
FOREIGN POLICY is the winner of a highly coveted National Magazine Award for General Excellence presented by the American Society of Magazine Editors, in association with the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University. The award, which is considered the magazine industry's most distinguished honor, judges the effectiveness with which a magazine combines its writing, reporting, editing, and design to command a readers' attention and fulfill its editorial objectives.
The National Magazine Award judges said, "FOREIGN POLICY, a bi-monthly of global politics, economics, and ideas, is sophisticated enough for experts and accessible to concerned citizens. It is as timely as today's headlines, remarkably prescient, and creative in finding new ways to explore complex ideas." This year's winners were chosen from among 1,305 entries in 20 categories by a judging panel comprising 160 editors, art directors, educators, and media experts.
"I'm thrilled," said FOREIGN POLICY Editor and Publisher Moisés Naím. "For this award to come just two and one-half years after we relaunched FOREIGN POLICY from a quarterly academic journal to a bimonthly, full-color magazine is a welcome recognition of our progress. To be in the company of this year's winners is a great honor. Winning this award speaks volumes about the dedication, motivation, and talent of the magazine's entire staff. And we could not have won without the generous support of our parent organization, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and its president, Jessica Mathews."
