Atlanta wins National Magazine Award
May 2, 2008 at 2:58 pm by Scott Freeman in NewsThe National Magazine Awards are usually not big news in Atlanta.
But today there is celebration at the Peachtree Street offices of Atlanta magazine after Executive Editor Paige Williams received an award for the Best Feature Story published last year.
Williams received the award for “You Have Thousands of Angels Around You,” which the judges described as a “stop-you-in-your-tracks tale of a teenager who survived a war, lost her entire family, fled two continents and wound up in Atlanta.”
To earn the award, Williams beat out writers from GQ, the New Yorker and Vanity Fair. The awards were announced last night at a black-tie gala in New York City.
(Full disclosure: I hung my hat at Atlanta magazine for several years.)
