National Geographic lauded at National Magazine Awards

If there was any doubt about the excellence of the National Geographic magazine, the National Magazine Awards ended that.  Presented to National Geographic editor Chris Johns in a Thursday night( April 1) banquet in New York were the top prize for photography, for writing, for photojournalism — and overall excellence.  It was the second year in a row that the Geographic was named America’s top magazine and the first time one magazine won as many awards.
