CITY MAGAZINE WINS
FIRST “ELLIE” AWARD IN BEST PHOTOGRAPHY CATEGORY
BEATING OUT VOGUE, DETAILS, AND MARTHA STEWART LIVING
New York, NY (May 10, 2004) — CITY
Magazine, the premiere launching pad for ideas, trends, and culture
for lifestyle elements: design, fashion, food, travel and more has
been awarded it’s first “Ellie” award in the Best
Photography Category, by the American Society of Magazine Editors
(ASME). Each year since 1966, the ASME has been the preeminent organization
recognizing the most exceptional consumer and trade magazines published
in the United States. Twenty-one magazines walked away with an “Ellie,”
(ASME’s answer to the Oscar) this year, a nod for being the
best in their category.
CITY Magazine was selected from hundreds of magazines for this prestigious
award. ASME nominated five publications for their dynamic use of
photography, photojournalism, and illustration to convey the magazine’s
editorial mission and identity. This year, CITY shared the nomination
in the photography category with Details, Martha Stewart Living,
Nest, and Vogue.
“This award and recognition by ASME is a tribute to the vast
talent pool of photographers, both established and soon-to-be established,
who are a valued part of the CITY family. The collaborative and
creative process is something very important to our magazine, in
that we strive to push the envelope not only with fashion imagery
but with food, design, and product stories as well,” said
John McDonald, Editorial Director and Publisher.

Under 200,000 Circulation category.
