The society accepted entries in 39 categories from across 12 regions for work in the 2009 calendar year.
"To have six finalists is a testament to the quality of the work our students are doing," said Lori Blachford, the Peggy Fisher and Larry Stelter Chair in Magazine Journalism and faculty adviser for Drake Magazine. "I'm especially proud that Drake students are excelling in both print and online formats. That kind of versatility is essential in the ever-changing media environment." MORE

Two Travel Magazines, One Cover Image
Look closely at the cover of the April 2010 Conde Nast Traveler. In the background is the cliff of Italy’s Amalfi coast. Then look at the April 2010 issue of National Geographic Traveler. Same subject—the Amalfi coast— but in close-up this time. A fabulous destination and a great photo-op, but worthy of both major travel magazines in the same month? With the world to choose from, both magazines choose the same cover location?
