The 47th Annual National Magazine Awards, held on June 7, serve as a powerful reminder of the irreplaceable human element at the heart of magazine storytelling. From diverse, often underrepresented subjects that illuminate our shared humanity, to the passionate individuals behind every step of the editorial process – researching, understanding, writing, fact-checking, art directing and designing – these awards celebrate the art and impact of long-form journalism.
In a year of exceptional journalism, we were honoured to receive eight awards across three of our brands, Toronto Life, Chatelaine and Maclean's. The awards are a testament to the exceptional work of our talented writers, editors, art directors and designers.
