“This year’s Ellie finalists and winners fully display the vitality and power of magazine journalism,” said Sid Holt, Chief Executive of American Society of Magazine Editors. “Stunningly diverse in subject and approach, these publications show why readers love magazines—in print, on line or on mobile devices.”
