An award winner
I am referring, of course, to CW, or more specifically Angelo Fernando’s “Tech Talk,” which appears in each issue of CW. It recently won a Maggie Award.
The Maggies are an annual awards program through the Western Publications Association for all publications west of the Mississippi.
Entered in the category of best regularly featured department/section/column in a trade magazine, Angelo’s column beat seven other competitors, including the Stanford Social Innnovation Review and Special Events magazine.
The winning articles were “Social Media Changes the Rules” (Jan/Feb 07), “Transparency Under Attack” (March/April 07) and “The Wisdom of Wikipedians” (Nov/Dec 07).
A total of 94 awards were given to print and digital publications, for both editorial and design. Publications are judged on their readability, focus, depth of research, cohesiveness and how well they meet their objectives. The Maggie award has been around for 57 years and is considered among the highest honors in the publishing industry.
So, Angelo and CW are in good company. I hope all IABC members are regular readers.
