Wired is finalist for magazine of the year

Wired was named Tuesday as a finalist for magazine of the year by the American Society of Magazine Editors.

It is competing against National Geographic, The Atlantic, Backpacker and Foreign Policy. The award honors the best magazines published both in print and on digital platforms.

Wired has been a finalist in the general excellence category for each of the past five years. It won a general excellence award in 2007.

Wired’s entries were its June, August and December issues. The 2011 National Magazine Awards also mark the first time that society will host a dinner on Monday, May 9, to present the awards. The awards are known as the Ellies — for the Alexander Calder stabile “Elephant” given to each award winner.

Wired is also a finalist in three other categories — print design, magazine section and personal service. Those category finalists were announced last week.

In 2010, Wired was a finalist in six categories — general excellence, feature writing, print design, single-topic issue, personal service and magazine section
