Two Ellie-Winning Stories

Here are two Good Reads, officially crowned as such tonight at the National Magazine Awards: Top feature story "You Have Thousands Of Angels Around You," from Atlanta magazine, is about "how one young woman lost her family, survived a war, escaped two continents, and through the kindness of strangers found a lifelong home in Atlanta." It was also endorsed as "pretty fucking amazing" by commenter lizzybennet. There's also "China's Instant Cities," which won the reporting prize for National Geographic, and is about "the entrepreneurial frenzy behind China’s dramatic economic growth." As the Times noted, the award was groundbreaking because the magazine usually wins prizes for its photography. If any of the other winners have thrilled you, feel free to post in the comments (or email tips@gawker.com).

Thanks for these links. I was disappointed when I went to the list of winners/nominees on the Editors web page and found none of the stories had been linked.

@SarahHeartburn: That bugs me too. The most egregious example I ever saw was the "Webbie" awards back when they were sort of a big deal, in 2000. They had no links! To award winning websites! Amazing.

Thanks for the links. The award for photojournalism went to John Stanmeyer at National Geographic for "Bedlam in the Blood: Malaria", linked here:
