Magazines of the Year
The winner of the 2012 Kenneth R. Wilson Award for Magazine of the Year—Professional is Up Here Business, published by Up Here Publishing: Marion Lavigne (publisher); Guy Quenneville (editor); Michael Ericsson (art director).
What the KRW Awards judges said about Up Here Business:
Up Here Business has proved once again that it is a must read not only for businesses in the North but in the rest of Canada as well. The content celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit, breaking down the challenges and highlighting the benefits in thoughtful, well-written stories and compelling photography. Its editorials strike a good balance between the celebratory and the critical. The storytelling is adept, and the magazine as a whole has a voice; its headlines and cut lines have wit. In every aspect, Up Here Business's commitment to serving its audience is admirable.
The winner of the 2012 Kenneth R. Wilson Award for Magazine of the Year—Trade is Oilweek, published by JuneWarren-Nickle's Energy Group, a division of Glacier Media Inc: Chaz Osburn (publisher); Dale Lunan (editor); Cath Ozubko (art director).
What the KRW Awards judges said about Oilweek:
Oilweek is outstanding in its comprehensive coverage of Canada's oil and gas industry. The flow of its storytelling is impeccable; its columns are insightful and authoritative. The magazine's design and commitment to a strong balance of photographs and graphics supply the reader with stimulating entry points to the content. Its front-of-book "Patch" and its ongoing coverage of the Northern Gateway pipeline project are especially noteworthy. Oilweek is a stunningly good publication.
