NEW YORK -– National Geographic topped all other magazines by winning four prizes at Thursday night’s National Magazine Awards, the industry's most prestigious award ceremony.
New York magazine, which took home the most awards last year and was awarded this year's “Cover of the Year” statue on Wednesday night, won the coveted “Magazine of the Year” prize. Along with New York, the Atlantic and Texas Monthly each won two awards.
The American Society of Magazine Editors, in association with Columbia Journalism School, sponsors the awards, commonly described within the industry as “Ellies” because they're shaped like the Alexander Calder sculpture, “Elephant.” Eighteen different magazines took home Ellies this year.
Mother Jones won the “Video” award for obtaining the full tape of Mitt Romney’s infamous “47 percent” comments at a private fundraiser, a scoop that also netted a Polk Award.
The Atlantic won the “Essays and Criticism” award for Ta-Nehisi Coates’ article“Fear of a Black President,” and Slate was honored for “Columns and Commentary” for three Dahlia Lithwick columns.
