NEW YORK – Digital executives, thought leaders and creators from across the magazine media industry gathered in the Yale Club Ballroom in Midtown on Thursday to celebrate this past year’s greatest achievements in online media at the Folio: Digital Awards. Twenty different prizes, ranging from Best Digital Magazine to New Digital Product to Digital Executive of the Year, were presented to the top teams from a variety of publishers like AARP, Meredith Corp., Slate Magazine and ESPN.

This year’s inductees were Jason Fox, VP and chief digital officer of Consumer Reports, Margi Mannix, AARP’s VP and editor-in-chief of digital and content, Clarissa Matthews, Director of Product Management and Planning at The Atlantic, and Stan Pavlovsky, the EVP and President of Meredith Digital.

Leonora Weiner, Consumer Reports’ SVP and chief operating officer, introduced Fox, saying that he was her first hire after joining the company and that since he’s come aboard, he has helped to revive the brand’s entire digital operation. That is also what Fox says is one of the most exciting parts of the... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
