Not only does it present a strong editorial voice, it displays actual reporting skills, has a nice kicker at the end (it made me chuckle) and does a service to the industry by debunking a myth that has the potential to spook the industry. Hearty congratulations to Travis are in order — great job."   Silver The Journal Of Commerce Freight and Friends Joseph Bonney     Judging comments: "Nearly every trade magazine last year published an editor’s column last year about the election of President Barack Obama, but Joseph Bonney’s addition to the genre provided a context to his election that had a direct impact on the industry, but also the city where Obama makes his home. Bonney’s direct, straight-forward reporting — as well as the impact it could have on the industry and the country, made this column effective and interesting."   Bronze Inspection Trends Editor's Note Mary Ruth Johnsen, Inspection Trends     Judging comments: "Certification and education are critical issues in any industry, and Johnsen makes a compelling case for the need to increase education in one particular area of the welding industry."   Honorable Mention Architect You're Green?

Bronze Exhibitor Magazine Rebel with a Cause Brian Todd     Judging comments: "It is hard to imagine that an article about an exhibition stand could hold any interest at all, let alone keep you riveted as to the success of its outcome.

"Comprehensive reporting with clearly designed formats."     Silver Pensions & Investments Untangling the market mess Nancy Webman, Editor    Judging comments: "Authoritative, proactive news reporting combined with many editorial devices to provide readers with a quick overview of the issue make Pensions & Investments magazine a captivating read. The layout is unfortunately where the publication falls down as articles jump from one page to another interrupting any chance of the reader becoming engrossed in an article."     Bronze Network World Network World News sections from April 7, 2008 and April 14, 2008 Network World Staff    Judging comments: "Network World provides a good mix of breaking news, news analysis, insight and interesting snippets.

This is an excellent example of how to put a mainstream societal concern into context for a unique audience. The writing and approach shows, rather than tells, readers why they should care about the topic; uses examples from successful readers to show the rest of the audience how they stand to benefit; and provides solutions to overcoming potential obstacles to getting started in their own operation. How do they do this every week?!" "Everything about this story--from the original research and use of graphic elements to the handy how-to sidebar tips--makes it an important resource for readers who need to reduce the energy load of data centers."   Silver Exhibitor Magazine The Green Exhibiting Issue Exhibitor Magazine Staff   Judging comments: "This special coverage distills an extremely technical (in the case of carbon trading) and controversial (in the case of what constitutes "green practices") issue for a non-technical audience while presenting successful examples readers can copy. All packaged in an easily accessible graphic format. I applaud the editors' success at avoiding "greenwashing." "Good work showing how exhibitors across varied industries can turn their trade show efforts green. The Fast Fact boxes and sidebars lend extra support to what is already smart coverage of emerging issues."   Bronze Educause Review September/October 2008: Back to (Virtual) School D. Teddy Diggs     Judging comments: "Even though the magazine doesn't use traditional reporting techniques, it makes it easy for readers to grasp the tenets of a controversial and highly technical issue well by breaking the topic into logical 'categories' and covering each. Also, very logical use of avatars!"   Honorable Mention Buildings Lessons From the Flood Linda Monroe, Jana Madsen, Leah Garris, Jenna Aker     Honorable Mention Computerworld Whodunit? Ellen Fanning, Computerworld Staff and Contributors Technical Article Gold Wood Design & Building Eco-Friendly Wood Finishes: The New Order Bernadette Johnson, Sharon MacIntosh, Ioana Lazea     Judging comments: "This article was very good, informative, and interesting.
