Foreign Policy Wins the Coveted
National Magazine Award for General Excellence
Award is FPs Second in Five Years

The editors and staff of Foreign Policy are pleased to announce that the magazine was named the 2007 recipient of the National Magazine Award for General Excellence among magazines with a circulation of 100,000 to 250,000. The awards, presented by the American Society of Magazine Editors, were announced Tuesday night at a black-tie ceremony at New York Citys Jazz at Lincoln Center and are considered to be the Oscars of the magazine industry.

It was FPs fourth General Excellence nomination and second win in the past five years, and the magazine’s first win since it began being judged in a higher circulation category. The magazine last won the General Excellence award in 2003 in the under 100,000 circulation category.

The award judges said of FP:

Foreign Policy deftly wrestles today’s dilemmas onto the page with confidence, originality and style. With its groundbreaking reporting, think-again take on global politics, and easy-to-absorb infographics, the magazine offers readers an informed perspective on the grand and grave issues of our time. Always authoritative but never heavy-handed, Foreign Policy delivers on its mission to take readers beyond the facts to understand how the world works.

In reaction to the award announcement, FPs editor in chief, Moiss Nam, said:

Four nominations and two wins in five years is really a momentous honor. To be consistently recognized by the nations leading magazine editors is a true testament to the dedicated efforts of our staff, the generous support of our publisher, The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and most of all our readers, whose enthusiasm for FP is our inspiration.

Jessica T. Mathews, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, added:

Foreign Policys latest award, the magazine industry’s highest honor, shows that it continues to be the gold standard for coverage of international affairs. The quality that FP maintains issue after issue, not only in its flagship edition but now in eleven foreign editions published in eight different languages, is an enduring source of pride for the Endowment and its board.
