Maclean’s nominated for 19 National Magazine Awards

Maclean’s has been nominated for 19 National Magazine Awards, including Magazine Website of the Year, Tablet Magazine of the Year and Best Single Issue.

The nominations—particularly those related to coverage of the Ottawa shooting—reflect the work of the entire newsroom and its bureaus.

In fact, the newsroom had just sent Michael Petrou’s feature on Iraq (see nominations below) to the printers when news broke about the shooting at the National War Memorial. From an office in a building under lockdown, the Maclean’s Ottawa bureau provided live, coherent and accurate multimedia coverage of the unfolding situation in and around Parliament Hill. As live coverage unfolded during the week that followed, Maclean’s simultaneously produced a breaking-news digital edition, a special edition radio show, a long-form, 6,000-word oral history of that day — as told by those who were there — and another edition of the magazine, which included the first in-depth investigation of Michael Zehaf-Bibeau. Our work on the story continues.

Rogers publications, which include L’actualité, Sportsnet, Canadian Business and others alongside Maclean’s, earned a total of 87 nominations.

The winners will be announced at the 38th National Magazine Awards gala in Toronto on June 5.
