The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) recently announced the 2022 nominations for the National Magazine Awards. Alumna Lacy Warner '16 reported and interviewed for a 2021 issue of New York Magazine that was nominated for an award. The issue, Remember the Office?, is available to read online and in print from New York Magazine.

Founded in 1963, the ASME is a principal organization in the United States that supports the development of both print and digital journalism. Now in its 57th year, the annual National Magazine Awards honor websites and publications for editorial and journalistic excellence. Award categories include reporting, photography, podcasting, and video, among others. Remember the Office? was nominated by the ASME for the Single-Topic Issue Award.

Published on April 26, 2021 by New York MagazineRemember the Office? dives into the 150-year history of the New York Office and looks back onto the staples of the traditional office such as cubicles, corner offices, holiday parties, all-nighters, and more. According to Editor-in-Chief David Haskell, “All of us at New York have been working remotely for 13 months now—something we never thought possible before the pandemic—and that made us especially curious to understand the history of the New York office, which for decades has been not only a place of business but also a stage for human dramas, a pressure-cooker, a gossip machine and, more broadly, an invention that transformed the city itself.”

The finalists and winners of the 2022 National Magazine Awards will be announced on April 5, 2022 in a ceremony at Brooklyn Steel.
