Intended to advance the practice of journalism and promote the value of magazine media to readers and advertisers, the Ellie Awards honor print and digital publications that consistently demonstrate superior execution of editorial objectives, innovative techniques, noteworthy journalistic enterprise and imaginative art direction. Originally limited to print magazines, the Ellies now recognize magazine-quality journalism published in any medium. Founded in 1966, the awards are sponsored by the American Society of Magazine Editors in association with the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and are administered by ASME. A list of the members of the ASME Board of Directors is posted on the ASME website.
