Trade Magazines of the Year are tech pubs Computerworld, SC Magazine — ASBPE

Two technology publications — Computerworld and SC Magazine — were named trade Magazines of the Year in a contest sponsored by the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE). Its release states:

“Computerworld beat out nine other finalists to win the prestigious award. Judges selected the magazine as the winner in the over-$2-million-in-revenues category due to its nice design, great use of illustrations, organization, and clean look. One judge said the magazine was ‘amazing for a weekly publication,’ and another said ‘it tackles timely issues and it’s well done.’

SC Magazine won in the under-$2-million category for its ‘clean design’ and ‘well organized layout.’ One of the judges said, ‘you know where you are in the publication,’ while another complimented the magazine for its quick, easy pullout data and number of entry points for the reader. The publication also won for its ability to cover relevant topics and as one judge put it, ‘to get the job done.’”
