ASME Announces Digital Ellie Nominees
The American Society of Magazine Editors announced the nominees for its “Digital Ellie” awards. The digital properties of The Atlantic and New York magazine as well as Slate and the Daily Beast lead the pack with three nominations each. People magazine’s website is the only LA-based digital pub to earn a nomination (at least that we were able to see). Mother Jones picked up a nod in the “Reporting” category for its Occupy Wall Street coverage.
