National Magazine Award Nomination

By cmooney on March 16, 2006.

This has been a good couple of weeks. I've just learned that Mother Jones has been nominated for a National Magazine Award in the "public interest" category for their May 2005 feature on global warming, which included an article by yours truly about ExxonMobil and conservative think tanks. Anyway, we're up against Elizabeth Kolbert's three part New Yorker series on global warming in this category, so winning hardly seems assured--but, again, it's an honor to be nominated.

Congratulations to you, and Mother Jones, for the nomination. It's distressing to me that MoJo doesn't see more recognition. This article on the fate of the ocean, struck me as superb. And it's not atypical of their consistently good journalism.
