A Letter from David Carey on Hearst Magazines Editorial Excellence Awards Finalists
Published on 03.16.18
Dear Colleagues,
Each year, we acknowledge the
great content created by our editorial teams through Hearst Magazines’
Editorial Excellence Awards. Developed and executed by talent across our brands
and around the world, our editorial content demonstrates creativity,
innovation, effort and near-prescient knowledge into what our readers want to
know. Your work is why the world’s top brands and marketers partner with us to
reach consumers every day. For that, and so much more, we applaud these brands
and teams who break through and earn our recognition. I am honored to share the
list of finalists with you, below.
Selecting examples of
outstanding work in photography, innovation, features, essays, design, video
and social media from 162 entries in 15 categories was the job of our judges,
Hearst Magazines editors-in-chief, executive editors, creative directors,
design directors and site directors (judges could not vote in categories in
which their titles were entered).
Winners will be chosen by a
panel that includes Joanna Coles; Kate Lewis; Kim St. Clair Bodden
(International); Jon Gluck; as well as Michael Wolff, author of
Fire
and Fury: Inside the Trump White House
;
New York Times
journalists
Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey; and me.
During Talent Unbound, we
celebrate the talent within all of you. And on April 9, we will honor the
accomplishments of our finalists at the Hearst Magazines Editorial Excellence
Awards Gala Luncheon. Thank you all for your submissions and hard work.
David Carey
President, Hearst Magazines
