NYT Mag Wins Big at Virtual National Magazine Awards

The New York Times Magazine was the top winner at this year's National Magazine Awards (commonly referred to as the "Ellies"), which were held as a virtual ceremony Thursday evening after the annual gala, originally set for Brooklyn in mid-March, was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By the broadcast's end, the Sunday magazine had received five awards, the most of any individual title, including its first-ever win for General Excellence, which is awarded across four categories based on publication type and is considered the program's top honor.

In total, The New York Times Magazine has now earned 11 Ellie Awards since 2017, according to the American Society of Magazine Editors, which administers the awards in partnership with Columbia Journalism School.
