EDUCAUSE Review Gains New Honors from Publishing Community

EDUCAUSE Review, the award-winning, flagship magazine of the association for information technology in higher education, has just won another publishing honor and also placed in a top 25 list for a prestigious award program.

The magazine and Publisher/Editor D. Teddy Diggs received a 2008 Award for Publication Excellence from the Apex Awards program in the category of “Magazines & Journals, Print (over 32 Pages).” This is the second year in a row the magazine has won in this competitive category and the fifth Apex Award in the magazine’s history.

The other prestigious recognition for EDUCAUSE Review is a 2008 Tabbie Award from Trade, Association and Business Publications International for Best Single Issue: Top 25 Issues (#20), the most prominent category in this competition. The award was given for the September/October 2007 focus issue, Back to School: It’s All About the Faculty. 

EDUCAUSE Review takes a broad look at current developments and trends in information technology, how they may affect the college or university as an institution, and what they mean for higher education and society. In addition to EDUCAUSE members, the magazine's audience consists of presidents and chancellors, senior academic and administrative leaders, non-IT staff, faculty in all disciplines, librarians, and corporate leaders. The magazine has more than 21,000 print subscribers and receives more than 43,000 hits per month online.

In addition to these latest awards from publishing organizations, the magazine has received honors in past years from Apex,  Magnum Opus, Tabbies, Ozzies, Colorado Society for Association Executives, Art Directors Club of Metropolitan Washington D.C., and PRINT Regional Design Annual.

Of these latest honors, EDUCAUSE President Diana Oblinger said, “Recognition of EDUCAUSE Review and Teddy Diggs by the publishing world is most gratifying and validates what many of us have always felt--the magazine is a terrific publication that provides a valued service to our community. It is superb at explaining ‘Why IT Matters in Higher Education.’”
