No Love for Women's Titles on ASME Magazine of the Year Finalists List

Lack of female noms draw criticism

The list of finalists for ASME’s Magazine of the Year award are out, and this year, Esquire, New York, Time, The New Yorker and Popular Mechanics will be competing for the big prize. The lack of women’s titles mirrors the rest of the 2012 Ellies nominee list, which has drawn criticism for being overwhelmingly dominated by male writers and reporters.
