NSU Horizons magazine wins first place in Sunshine State Journalism awards
NSU’s Horizons magazine has won first place in the trade/special interest publication category during the 2011 Sunshine State Awards. The statewide journalism competition, which recognizes Florida’s best work of 2010, is presented by the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), South Florida Pro Chapter. The awards were presented during a ceremony at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel on Saturday, June 11.
In this year’s competition, more than 600 entries — from print, television, radio and online media — were evaluated by news professionals in other states. Comments from the judges included ”I enjoyed most everything about the magazine. The story selection was diverse and intriguing, and the design was aesthetically pleasing.”
The winning magazines were Diving into Research, spring 2010, and NSU’s Family Therapy Program Adds Horse Power, fall 2010. The magazine is produced twice a year. Public Affairs Associate Directors Ken Ma, Andra Liwag, Alan Hancock and Felecia Henderson contributed to the magazines. The issues were under the direction of NSU’s Executive Editor Julie Spechler, Managing Editor Oline H. Cogdill, NSU’s Publications Director Ron Ryan and Associate Director/Senior Graphic Designer Susan Hayward.
Horizons, which was launched during the fall of 2005, is the university’s premier communications channel, highlighting NSU’s news, academics and research. To view the magazines visit https://nsunews.nova.edu/horizons/
The same two Horizons issues were also awarded Communicator Awards by the International Academy of the Visual Arts.
In addition, NSU’s wellness magazine, Wellness Made Simple, won the Gold Communicator Award for Feature writing, and the Silver Communicator Award for Interior Design. These awards were based on the wellness magazine’s second issue, which came out in the fall 2010. Wellness Made Simple is managed by Ken Ma, associate director of Public Affairs and Marcela Sandigo, associate director of Campus Recreation.
