NSU Horizons Magazine Wins Second Place Sunshine State Journalism Award
NSU’s Horizons magazine won second place in the trade/special interest publication category during the 2013 Sunshine State Awards. The statewide journalism competition, which recognizes Florida’s best work of 2012, is sponsored by the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), South Florida Pro Chapter. The awards were presented in conjunction with the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) Miami Media Conference during a ceremony at the Mayfair Hotel in Coconut Grove on Saturday, July 13.
In this year’s competition, more than 500 entries — from print, television, radio and online media — were evaluated by news professionals in other states. The Sunshine State Awards are a nationally recognized prestigious honor.
The winning magazines were published in spring 2012 and fall 2012. The issues feature a variety of features on NSU’s 16 colleges and profiles on alumni, faculty, and students. The cover story for the spring 2012 focused on how NSU’s leading-edge programs focus on the aging population. The fall 2012 issue included an in-depth story on NSU’s new Center of Excellence for Coral Reef Ecosystems Research, the largest facility in the United States dedicated to studying reef ecosystems throughout the world.
Published twice a year, Horizons is distributed to more than 130,000 alumni, faculty, staff, and students. The issues were under the direction of NSU’s Executive Editor Mara L. Kiffin, Managing Editor Oline H. Cogdill, NSU’s Publications Director Ron Ryan and Associate Director/Senior Graphic Designer Susan Hayward.
The other winners in the 2013 trade/special interest publication category were first place: 850 – The Business Magazine of Northwest Florida and third place: City & Shore Magazine published by the Sun Sentinel.
Horizons, which was launched during the fall of 2005, is the university’s premier communications magazine, highlighting NSU’s news, academics and research. To view the magazines visit https://nsunews.nova.edu/horizons/.
