Senator Clinton and her staff are trying to create an aura of inevitability among both voters and journalists to suggest that she’s the Democratic frontrunner [and] you’d better get on board … beware of the inevitability.
–Dan Rather, at the 2007 American Magazine Conference in Boca Raton, Florida [FishbowlNY]
Boca was bumping on Saturday night. The American Magazine Conference took place there over the weekend, and you know how editors can get with a little white wine and a red pen.
Glamour editor-in-chief Cyndi Leive announced that beginning next May, Ellies will be given out to online material in new categories, including reporting, public interest, feature writing, profile writing, essays, columns and commentary, reviews and criticism, and fiction. Sadly, there will be no award for best cat blog.
Ellies will also now be available for newspaper magazines, like The New York Times Magazine. The newspaper magazines are also eligible for Pultizer Prizes. This would only be a problem if people in publishing were at all shy about giving out awards.
