In the magazine world, no recognition is more highly coveted or prestigious than a National Magazine Award. Annually, members of the American Society of Magazine Editors in association with the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism select the year's most dynamic, original, provocative, and influential magazine stories. The winning and finalist pieces in this anthology represent outstanding work by some of the most eminent writers in America as well as rising literary and journalistic talents. This collection celebrates excellence in several genres: investigative reporting, features, profiles, criticism, and essays. The stories cover a variety of subjects from Seymour Hersh's investigation into abuse at Abu Ghraib prison and Samantha Power's account of the genocide in Darfur to Ned Zeman's remarkable portrait of Timothy Treadwell, the man who lived with grizzlies, and David Kamp's piece on the extraordinary collaboration between Rick Rubin and Johnny Cash. Other pieces include Chris Jones on life at the International Space Station, James McManus on stem-cell research, Adam Gopnik on Times Square, Jed Perl on the redesign of the Museum of Modern Art, David Quammen on disputes about evolution, and James Wolcott on the blogosphere. Wide-ranging in their style and subjects, these pieces inform, surprise, entertain, and provide new perspectives on our world. They also reflect elements that distinguish the best in magazine writing: moral passion, investigative zeal, vivid characters and settings, persistent reporting, and artful writing.
