A down year for business journalism

In case you didn’t notice, business magazines were shut out of the awards handed out last night at the National Magazine Awards dinner in New York. The big winners included Time and ESPN The Magazine. See the winners here.

These are the equivalent of the Pulitzer Prizes. When I used to work at BusinessWeek, if the magazine won it was considered a big deal.

So, in other words, business journalism was shut out this year in both the Pulitzers and the NMAs.

  • Not only were the business magazines shut out, but Business Week was not even a finalist for the first time in memory. This is hardly a vote of confidence in the new editor in chief. BW is so thin and, frankly, unimaginative over the past few years, just a shadow of its former self, that this is not at all surprising.
