Condé Nast Leads 2012 'Ellies' Finalists with 24 Nominations

'The New Yorker', 'New York' each receive 6 nods

The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) has released the list of finalists for the 2012 National Magazine Awards, and Condé Nast led the pack, racking up a total of 24 nominations. Hearst followed with 10 nods while Time Inc. came in third place with seven.

Not surprisingly, The New Yorker and New York magazine are each front-runners again among individual titles, with six nominations each.

The New Yorker received two nominations in the reporting category. One was for "Getting bin Laden," a play-by-play by Nicholas Schmidle of the Navy SEALS raid that led to the death of the al Qaeda leader and which was criticized for failing to disclose that the reporter didn't speak directly to the SEALS.
