TWENTY ARTICLES TO READ BEFORE YOU DIE: The American Society of Magazine Editors has announced the finalists for the 2006 National Magazine Awards.
One nominee that made me smile, in the category of "best profile", was "The Crossing", Alec Wilkinson's amazing piece on transoceanic scrap rafter Poppa Neutrino. Sadly, I can't find the piece online anywhere.
And, generally, I'm thrilled for all the nominations for The Atlantic Monthly, which just does stellar work, year after year.
What's your take on the nominations? Any fantastic things you read last year which were grievously passed over?
(One side note on magazines: it's hard to imagine more dissonance between an article's text and its accompanying images as the current Vanity Fair profile on Teri Hatcher. Just saying, is all.)
