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.
