National Geographic has four more elephant-shaped statues decorating its offices after winning the highest number of prizes at the American Society of Magazine Editors awards on Thursday night. New York was named Magazine of the Year, and won the best magazine section award for the “Strategist” section (our “City and the Storm” cover was awarded Cover of the Year earlier this week). Other multiple-award winners include The Atlantic and Texas Monthly, which each received two awards. And Mother Jones reaped more benefits from Mitt Romney’s “not elegantly stated” remarks on the “47 percent,” scoring a video Ellie for “Full Secret Video of Private Romney Fundraiser.”
All of the winners are listed here, and you can check out these Ellie-approved features online:
- W’s “Good Kate, Bad Kate” by Will Self; photographs by Steven Klein (Feature Photography)
