Mother Jones Nominated for Two National Magazine Awards
Well, the moment long awaited by a couple hundred magazine editors and virtually unnoticed by the rest of the world has finally arrived! Finalists for the 2007 National Magazine Awards (read: stuff we all printed in 2006) were announced today, and Mother Jones scored two nominations, which is less than the New Yorker, but just as many as Time.
We got the big one, General Excellence! Which is sort of like being nominated for Best Picture. OK, in our circulation size (between 100,00 and 250,000), it's probably more like Best Foreign Feature. But still! Our fellow nominees are: Foreign Policy, Philadelphia Magazine, Salt Water Sportsman, Seed. If we get just a little bigger (hint: subscribe, you webbies) we'd be up against the likes of (this year) The Atlantic, New York, Audubon, Texas Monthly, and Cookie (sadly, not as yummy as it sounded).
Check out the three issues that got us this far here, here, and here.
And we were also nominated for Best Interactive Feature, for our fabulous(ly labor intensive) Lie by Lie: Iraq War Timeline. Learn more about it here.
MoJo last won in 2001, for General Excellence. Last year we were nominated for Public Interest for our ExxonMobil exposé.
A list of the mags that got multiple nominations is after the jump. You can go to the full breakdown here.
Meanwhile, thanks to everyone involved. Staff, former staff, writers, illustrators, photographers, fact-checkers, web designers, subscribers, donors, advertisers, to say nothing of our agents, personal trainers, life coaches, Harvey Weinstein....

Comments
Despite MoJo's relatively small circulation, I'm not at all surprised by the nomination. If anything, I'm surprised you don't get nominated more often. So few journals really report whatever is out there, regardless of which side is in the wrong.
Whenever I have some debate going on at work about particular events, I always search MoJo first for supporting data. I usually know I'll find it too, since I probably read it there in the first place.
Thanks for the excellent job you guys do. The recognition is well deserved. Wallow in it.
