ASME Announces National Magazine Award Finalists

Fellow periodical fiends, take note: the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) has announced the finalists for the 2012 National Magazine Awards. Vice and the visual crack that is the overhauled Bloomberg Businessweek are up against the big boys (The New Yorker, New York, and GQ) for general excellence in the general interest category (how general!), and we’re pleased to see Aperture and House Beautiful also in the general excellence hunt, in the “thought-leader” and lifestyle categories, respectively.
