... but then, we might be a little biased.
The list of finalists for the 2008 National Magazine Awards—the magazine world’s equivalent of the Oscars—is out, and the New Yorker leads the field with 12 nominations.
[...]
First-time finalists include Hooksexup Media's Babble.com, Bloomberg Markets, Budget Travel, Chow, Domino, Good, Paste, Play and T (the New York Times sports and style magazines), Radar and Condé Nast Portfolio.
Hearty congratulations and best of luck to Ada and everyone at Babble. You know, in a former life, we were at a magazine that won a few of those Alexander Calder-designed awards, known familiarly (if uncommonly) as Ellies. We had tiny offices, and weren't sure just where to put the unwieldy, surprisingly big awards -- so for a while, one of them wound up on our desk. Probably the best paperweight we'll ever have had.
