Fast Company was named Magazine of the Year at the annual National Magazine Awards on Thursday night, and The New Yorker took home the most Ellies, with wins for feature writing, essays and criticism, columns and commentary, and fiction. New York won for general excellence in the general-interest publication category, best design, and best website, and we’re very grateful for each elephant statue! The two first-time winners couldn’t be more different. Cosmopolitan, which debuted in 1965, won in the personal service category for the September feature “Your Cosmo Guide to Contraception.” Modern Farmer, which was founded just last year, was honored for the magazine section “Modern Farmer Handbook.”
