Murphy’s writing featured in national award-winning magazine
The Summer/Fall 2008 issue of Sun Valley Magazine (which included two of Patti Murphy’s articles on the sport of falconry and on the Peregrine Fund) has won the 2009 Maggie Award for best Semi-Annual Consumer Magazine! The Maggie Awards are the most prestigious national publishing awards in the Western United States (presented by the Western Publications Association), considered the “Oscars of the magazine publishing industry.” Sun Valley Magazine is in good company, as other winners have included Shape, Sunset, Arizona Highways, Western Interiors and Design, Backpacker, Yoga Journal, Sierra, Mother Jones, and San Francisco Bay Guardian.
And this same issue was also the proud recipient of a 2008 Ozzie Award for “Best Use of Photography” and a 2008 Eddie Award for Best Editorial Content (including Murphy’s two feature stories). The incredibly prestigious Ozzie and Eddie awards are open to all nationally-distributed magazines and are given in recognition of excellence in magazine design (the Ozzie) and editorial content (the Eddie). It is the largest national competition for magazines, and we are proud to have been able to contribute to this wonderful honor.
