Macworld Magazine Wins Prestigious "Maggie" Publishing Award

Macworld was named the best computer magazine in the consumer category by the Western Publications Association at their 55th annual Maggie Awards banquet. The cover story of the winning June issue of Macworld was Time- Saving Tips. The prestigious award honoring excellence in print publishing was accepted by Macworld's Editorial Director, Jason Snell.

"It's tremendously gratifying to be recognized by the WPA's Maggie Awards," Snell said. "These awards, along with our recent Folio Award, show what a great job the Macworld editorial staff is doing these days, both in print and online."

In addition to the best computer consumer magazine, Macworld's "Total Tiger" special edition was presented with the best special theme issue in the consumer category. The widely popular issue provided Mac users with essential hints, tips and tricks for a smooth transition to Tiger, including a 24-page ultimate guide to its 200 new features.

"Our Total Tiger special issue gave our readers everything they needed to know about Apple's new operating system," Snell said. "It was created on a tight deadline by an incredibly small group of people, including Senior Editor Kelly Turner and Art Director Rob Schultz."

Macworld has been one of our favorite magazines since we got a subscription along with one of the very first 128K Macs. We still have a subscription despite the online edition. [Bill Fox]
