For its efforts in 2011, IEEE Spectrum was honored as the top magazine among those in the Over $2M revenue category. Honorable mention in this category was awarded to The Scientist and American Lawyer. Rounding out the top 10 is Builder, Architect, One+, CIO, Workforce Management, Automotive News, and Security Management.

In the under $2M category, Music Inc earned the top marks with HealthLeaders and Emergency Management taking honorable mentions. The top 10 includes Armed Forces Journal, Government Technology, residential Architect, Connect Magazine, Scrap Magazine, Eco-Structure, and Custom Home.

“In today’s B2B industry, editors are expected to not only create a top-notch print product, but also update their Web site and social media platforms around the clock. Many editorial and online staffs are also expected to do more work with less resources,” says ASBPE National President Amy Florence Fischbach. “That’s one reason we enjoy recognizing the professionals who produce outstanding content on a day-in, day-out basis. The Azbee winners exemplify that high standard our industry sets.”

In 2012, in lieu of having a national conference, ASBPE has sponsored Boot Camp workshops in select cities nationwide. In addition, ASBPE’s chapters will present award ceremonies to recognize both the regional and national winners in their regions.

Winners are selected in about 60 categories. Five new feature categories have been added for the 2013 Azbee Awards of Excellence including solo author, group effort, short feature, in-depth feature, and impact/investigative feature.

ASBPE’s Azbee Awards of Excellence program is one of the most competitive for business-to-business, trade, association, and professional publications. The awards recognize outstanding work by magazines, newsletters, and digital media — Web sites, e-newsletters, digital magazines, and blogs. The competition is open to all U.S.-based publications. ASBPE membership is not required for entry, but members receive a discount on entry fees.

Founded in 1964, ASBPE is the professional association for full-time and freelance editors, writers, art directors, and designers employed by business, trade, and specialty press.

Stephen Barr Award, Membership Prizes, Newsletter Categories Added to Competition

Posted on January 3, 2012 by asbpe_admin

Entry postmark deadline is Jan. 23, 2004.

Nov. 24, 2003 —Look closely at the 26th edition of the Call for Entries that will soon kick off the 2004 ASBPE Awards of Excellence contest. While it may not seem much different from last year’s, you’ll find some striking changes.

Most notable is our new Stephen Barr Award, which we announced last July. Through this prize, ASBPE for the first time will honor a feature writer for her or his individual work. We will also bestow our first monetary reward on the winner: $500, to go with a handsome crystal trophy.

The award is endowed by the family of Stephen Barr, a perennial ASBPE excellence-award winner in his role as senior contributing editor of CFO magazine. Barr died of cancer in 2002 at age 43.

Contest entrants won’t compete directly for the Barr Award. Rather, a panel of judges will select the “best in show” among the top feature-writing categories, identifying the finest example of writing that displays the qualities Barr’s work exemplified:

inventiveness of approach,
insight and balance in the presentation of
a complex subject,
depth of investigation, and
impact among the community of readers.

Two Newsletter Categories Added

In response to a growing number of requests, ASBPE is adding two categories to its comprehensive list: industry newsletter and e-newsletter, aimed at a single industry or business specialty and honoring:

breadth and depth of coverage,
editing, reporting, and writing quality, and
value to the readers.

In the newsletter category, entries are open to for-profit or not-for-profit print publications with various distribution frequencies. Entering publications need not be listed in Standard Rate & Data Service’s (SRDS) Business Publication Advertising Source, and need not accept paid ads.

In the e-newsletter category, entries are open to for-profit and nonprofit electronic newsletters with various distribution frequencies. They, too, need not accept advertising. Particular attention is paid to the impact of the subject-line head, efficacy of item summaries or teasers, and clarity of the e-newsletter to users.

Free Membership Award

Look, too, at the nonmonetary rewards that come with winning a national ASBPE Gold. For the first time, named Gold winners will receive free membership for the next year, a $75 value. We know the winners will be great ambassadors for the organization.

Entry Deadline, Fees

All submissions must have a postmark or ship date of Jan. 23, 2004 — a week earlier than last year’s deadline.

Entry fees per submission are the same as last year: $70 for members and $90 for nonmembers, except for the Magazine of the Year, which is $90 for members and
$115 for nonmembers.

The ASBPE board has also made minor revisions in the booklet we hope will make the instructions clearer and simpler. Comments from the membership are welcome because upgrading the awards mechanism is a continuing enterprise.

Be on the lookout for the Call for Entries booklet, which should be mailed to members and available on our Web site soon.

Last year, ASBPE had 2,256 entries in the 25th annual awards, the second largest level ever. This year, we’re shooting for a record: topping the 2,529 entries received in 2001. Acknowledging our industry’s excellent work is one of the best ways to encourage even more excellence in the future.

ASBPE Announces 2004 Award Winners

Posted on January 3, 2012 by asbpe_admin

Adam Minter receives society’s first Stephen Barr Award for feature writing for Scrap magazine series on China’s recycling industry.

Philadelphia (June 25, 2004) —Computerworld and CSO magazine, a publication for corporate security officers, were named the large- and small-circulation 2004 Magazines of the Year by the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) at its national conference here.

ASBPE also awarded the first Stephen Barr Award, honoring the year’s best feature writing in the business press, to Shanghai-based freelancer Adam Minter for his three-part Scrap magazine series on the burgeoning scrap industry in China.

The Magazine of the Year honors to Computerworld and CSO, both publications of International Data Group of Framingham, Mass., topped the list of 2004 awards presented by ASBPE in the largest annual editorial and design competition among business publications.

Judges called Computerworld a “cutting edge” magazine with great design and typography, while CSO was called a “strong voice for people who have challenging jobs.”

The awards ceremony was held at ASBPE’s annual conference at the Sofitel Hotel in Philadelphia on June 24.

Magazine of the Year Honorable Mentions

CIO and Overdrive magazines received honorable mentions for Magazine of the Year in the 80,000-or-more circulation category. Rounding out the top 10 were Builder, CFO, Government Computer News, Network Computing, Network Magazine, PC World, and VARBusiness.

Meetings & Conventions and Custom Home magazines received honorable mentions in the under-80,000 category. The rest of the top 10 were Bloomberg Wealth Manager, CIO Insight, DC Velocity, Health Leaders, Replacement Contractor, Residential Architect, and Strategic Finance.

Editorial and Design Awards

Business security issues dominated the individual awards this year. In the 80,000-and-over circulation category, PC Magazine won for best feature article for a story on computer security, while among smaller magazines, Information Security magazine won for its piece, “Trustworthy Yet?” about Microsoft Inc.’s security efforts.
Network Computing and VARBusiness won two cover design awards among large magazines. Among smaller publications, Promo won two top awards for design.

The top overall Web publication awards went to PCMag.com and BusinessWeek Online.

Stephen Barr Award

The Stephen Barr Award is named for a senior contributing editor of CFO magazine who died in 2002 at 43 years of age. Minter, its winner is a 33-year-old University of Chicago graduate who has also written in recent months for The Wall Street Journal and the Far Eastern Economic Review, among other publications. His series in Scrap, a Washington-based publication for the recycling industry, detailed the sudden rise of China’s role in the business. Besides analyzing the economics involved, Minter looked closely at such elements as living conditions of workers and the black market for scrap there.

Judges for the award, which was endowed by Stephen Barr’s family, called the series “fascinating and surprising.” Said one judge: “Authoritative and beautifully structured, it leads the reader by the hand elegantly through a very complex subject.” Stephen Barr Award judges were George Gendron, former editor of Inc. magazine; Lou Ureneck, visiting professor of journalism at Boston University and head of its Business and Economics Journalism Program; and Roy Harris, senior editor of CFO.

National and regional awards were given in 39 editorial and design categories with more than 50 judges evaluating 2,457 entries. To find out the winners in the other categories, please go to www.asbpe.org.

ASBPE Reveals 2005 Awards

Posted on January 3, 2012 by asbpe_admin

CMO and Restaurants & Institutions Take Brand-new magazine, industry stalwart take top honors.


CMO was named the Magazine of the Year in the 80,000-and-under circulation division.	Restaurants & Institutions was the winner in the large-circulation division.

CLEVELAND — CMO, in its first year of publication, and Restaurants & Institutions, long an industry standard, have been presented with the 2005 Magazine of the Year awards by the American Society of Business Publication Editors.

In ASBPE’s 27th annual competition among business-to-business (b-to-b) publications, the Society also gave its Stephen Barr Award for the year’s best feature writing to John Gibeaut, a senior reporter with the ABA Journal. Publications won awards in 40 individual editorial and design categories.

CMO, a magazine for chief marketing officers, won the Magazine of the Year award in the under-80,000 circulation category, while Restaurants & Institutions was honored among magazines with circulations of 80,000 or more. CMO also won six individual national prizes. In addition, Restaurants & Institutions received a Gold for best publication redesign at the ASBPE awards banquet, which was held at Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on Tuesday, June 21.

ASBPE’s Magazine of the Year competition, the most rigorous in the b-to-b market, involves an examination of three consecutive issues in such areas as reporting, usefulness, layout and design, and organization. More than 100 publications competed.

Judges called CMO “slick and smart,” with beautiful typography, numerous entry points, and great cover design. They cited Restaurants & Institutions for its elegance, consistency, excellent writing, and user friendliness.

Other magazines in the top 10 among larger publications were Network World and Remodeling (which received special Honorable Mentions) along with

Among under-80,000 magazines, others in the top 10 were CIO Insight and Residential Architect (Honorable Mentions) and

ASBPE is a 750-member association of editors and writers working on business, trade, and association magazines and their related Internet publications.

“We heartily congratulate our Magazine of the Year winners and our honorable mentions,” said ASBPE president Rob Freedman, senior editor at Realtor magazine. “These awards, along with those in all our other categories, represent the toughest honors to attain in our industry, not only because of our comprehensive criteria but also because of all the excellent publications that enter the contest.”

This year, ASBPE had a record 2,610 entries. Computerworld led in total awards won with eight, while PC World and CMO captured seven, and CIO and Network World six each.

John Gibeaut’s feature-writing award, which comes with a $500 prize, recognized two articles in the ABA Journal, one detailing the negative impact of mandatory minimum sentences for crimes, and the other describing the harm from state budget cuts on prosecutors’ offices around the country. Judges praised Gibeaut’s success in using characters to bring his stories to life. The Stephen Barr Award is named for a senior contributing editor of CFO magazine who died in 2002 at 43 years of age.

Other Top Editorial, Design, and Internet Awards

Also in the editorial division, Digital Connect and Small Firm Business were named the best new publications in their respective circulation divisions. The best newsletter Gold went to Technology and Learning: School CIO. In a typical editorial category, special section, Network World won for a section on industry enterprise, while American School Board Journal won for its retrospective, “Brown Vs. Board of Education: the Ruling that Changed America.”

Among top ASBPE design awards for 2005, Risk & Insurance and Restaurants & Institutions won for publication redesign; CMO and Digital World won for new publication design; Plate and CIO won for overall typography; and HealthLeaders and Civil Engineering won for feature article design.

In the Internet division, Variety.com Headline News took the highest honors among
e-newsletters; CMOmagazine.com, the site for Magazine of the Year winner CMO, won for overall Web publication and new Web publication; Oracle Technology Network won for interactive community; and PC World Online took the Gold for original Web news section.

ASBPE Announces 2006 Annual Award Winners

Posted on January 2, 2012 by asbpe_admin

Computerworld and CSO, two publications of International Data Group (IDG)in Framingham, Mass., took honors as the Magazines of the Year in the 28th Annual Azbee Awards of Excellence presented July by ASBPE.

The group’s 2006 Stephen Barr Award for feature writing went to Shabnam Mogharabi, a Los Angeles-based business editor, for a series of articles in Aquatics International explaining why American minority youths account for a disproportionate percentage of drowning deaths.

Stan Modic, senior editorial advisor and columnist at Nelson Publishing, accepted the organization’s Lifetime Achievement Award at ASBPE’s ceremony, held in Chicago Thursday night, July 20, as part of the organization’s National Editorial Conference.

Modic exhorted business-to-business editors to give more attention to reader needs, noting that it is the “editor’s responsibility to insure that business magazines serve the reader first—for only in that way can we serve the advertiser best.”

He added, “The ASBPE has updated its code of ethics. Now we have to insure that we live by it.”

Magazines of the Year

For its work in 2005, Computerworld was recognized as the top magazine among those of 80,000 circulation or larger, while CSO, a publication for security executives of companies, was honored in the under-80,000-circulation category.

Large circulation magazines given honorable mention in the Magazine of the Year category were CFO, a publication for finance executives, and CIO, which targets information executives. Boston-based CFO is part of The Economist Group, while CIO also is an IDG publication in Framingham.

In the under-80,000-circulation category, ASBPE gave honorable mentions to Information Security, a TechTarget publication based in Needham, Mass., and Meetings & Conventions, which belongs to Secaucus, N.J.-based Northstar Travel Media.

Judges Comments

Judges said of Computerworld that it was “packed with useful information with never a fluffy issue—difficult for any monthly magazine, and they do it weekly.”

About CSO, judges noted that it “takes risks with subject matter,” and that “design and copy complement each other extraordinarily well,” with covers that “have attitude.”

Computerworld and CSO also were among the largest winners of individual national Azbee Gold Awards from ASBPE, garnering five each. Each had also won the Magazine of the Year award previously, in 2004.

Azbees are given in 40 categories. Fifteen magazines won Golds in editorial categories; 23 in graphics, and six in digital.

Barr Winner Writes With Sensitivity About Drownings

Mogharabi, the Barr Award winner, is the business editor of Aquatics International’s Hanley Wood sister publication, Pool & Spa News. She had only recently received her masters degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism when she began exploring the high percentage of drownings involving blacks and Hispanics in America.

Her sensitive yet dispassionate handling of the complex, emotional issue appeared in the October and November 2005 issues of Aquatics International. ASBPE’s third annual Stephen Barr Award, accompanied by a $500 cash prize, is named in memory of a CFO magazine contributing editor who died in 2002 at the age of 43.

Mogharabi was also a winner of one of ASBPE’s Young Leader Scholarships, which provides free registration to the Society’s National Editorial Conference.

“Last year was a great one for business-to-business publications,” said Roy Harris, ASBPE’s national president and a senior editor of CFO. “Winning entries helped readers understand everything from the continuing surge in Chinese markets to the latest shocks from information technology, to new ways in which computers are used in making animated movies.”

Builder, Public CIO, PCWorld.com Take Top 2007 Azbee Honors

Posted on January 2, 2012 by asbpe_admin

Builder and Public CIO took Magazine-of-the-Year Honors while PCWorld.com won Web Publication of the Year.

Cover image: Builder magazine Builder magazine and Public CIO took honors as the Magazines of the Year, and PCWorld.com was named Web Publication of the Year at the 29th Annual Azbee Awards of Excellence presented by the American Society of Business Publication Editors. The ceremony was held at New York City’s Roosevelt Hotel Thursday, the first day of the 43-year-old organization’s two-day National Editorial Conference.

The Stephen Barr Award for feature writing went to David McClintick, an investigative reporter and author, for his feature article “How Harvard Lost Russia” in the January 2006 Institutional Investor.

McClintick examined Harvard University’s disastrous contract to help privatize financial markets in parts of the former Soviet Union.

Azbee Awards are given in 56 print, digital, and multi-platform categories, for editorial and graphic excellence, recognizing both large and smaller publications. This year, 41 Golds were given to organizations in editorial fields, and 31 Golds were awarded for graphics.

The biggest winners included CFO magazine, CIO magazine and Computerworld, with 11 national awards each. CFO took home an evening’s record nine Golds in categories from print editorial and graphics to Website to multi-platform.

Magazines of the Year and Web Publication of the Year

For its work in 2006, Builder was recognized as the top magazine among those of 80,000 circulation or larger, while Public CIO, a was honored in the under-80,000-circulation category.

Large-circulation magazines given honorable mention in the Magazine of the Year category were BusinessWeek and Teacher. In the under-80,000-circulation category, ASBPE gave honorable mentions to QSR, a magazine covering for those in the quick-service restaurant industry, and Residential Architect.

The judges said Builder is “editorially challenging — takes gutsy approaches to issues — examines major national issues and their affect on readers — transcendent reporting — meets its mission well — great typography.”

Of Public CIO, the judges said “Top tier — compelling information everyone has an interest in — brings ordinary subject matter to higher level — goes above and beyond — great magazine without flaunting itself — appears effortless — reader friendly.”

For honorable mention in the Web Publication of the Year competition won by PCWorld.com, ASBPE named CFO.com, eWeek.com, and Macworld.com.

Judges called PCWorld.com “well-organized, authoritative, informative, and entertaining. Inventory of how-to videos is a big plus. The presence of video for describing tips, test drives, and case studies, coupled with interactive attributes such as polls and tips from readers, enable PCWorld’s Web site to be one of the most useful Web sites of its kind.

“Clean look backed by solid content.”

This year ASBPE added categories recognizing excellence in digital Web publications, e-newsletters, digital magazines, and blogs. Another category likely to serve as a harbinger of the future was Multi-Platform General Excellence, won by CFO, honoring excellence in coordination of print with other mediums such as Web sites, e-newsletters, blogs, Webinars, or podcasts.

New categories were also added for print newsletters, which now vie for top honors for best feature article, how-to article, or original research.

Photo: David McClintick David McClintick, the Stephen Barr Award winner, is the consummate investigative reporter, known for works like 1982’s film-industry study Indecent Exposure, and for definitive magazine reports written for such publications as Forbes and Vanity Fair.

His story for Institutional Investor took readers back to the 1990s, when Russia stumbled toward establishing a free-market economy in Eastern Europe. The January 2006 piece focused on the depths of global political intrigue and corruption, but taught as much about the heights of hubris — at Harvard. The university had let professors engage, unchecked, in self-dealing as they became tangled in the malaise.

Emerging for Institutional Investor readers was Harvard’s “apparently limitless arrogance,” as one judge put it.

ASBPE’s fourth annual Stephen Barr Award, accompanied by a $500 cash prize, is named for a CFO reporter who died in 2002 at the age of 43.

“Last year was a great one for business-to-business publications,” said Roy Harris, ASBPE’s national president and a senior editor of CFO. “Winning entries helped readers understand such things as corporate recovery from a devastating storm like Hurricane Katrina, proper management of a company 401k plan, and the challenging life of a chief information officer.”

At the Azbee Awards banquet, famed magazine designer and author Jan White accepted the organization’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

Abe Peck Named 2008 ASBPE Lifetime Achievement Award Winner

Posted on January 1, 2012 by asbpe_admin

If there were a traditional path to the ASBPE Lifetime Achievement Award, Abe Peck would rarely have walked along it.

Exalted as a professor since 1980 at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism until his decision to retire from full-time duties this year to Santa Barbara, he built up strong associations with B2B magazines.

He was the first Medill professor to hold an endowed chair (the Theodore R. and Annie Laurie Sills professorship) and the first to be awarded a second named chair, when he became the Helen Gurley Brown professor at the school. His other rare title: Chair of Journalism & Cross-Media Storytelling, with much of his work — also uncommon for a professor — geared toward promoting the idea that journalism and storytelling in B2B publications do go together.

ItÍs made him, as his boss, Medill Dean John Lavine, puts it, “a national treasure.”

But few would have predicted that outcome when, after a short stint in the Army Reserves, he adopted the nom de protest, “Abraham Yippie,” at the side of Abbie Hoffman and others now known to followers of ChicagoÍs 1968 Democratic National Convention as the Chicago Seven.

Journalistically, he was involved with that city’s best-known underground newspaper, The Chicago Seed, before he began helping Jann Wenner shake up the media world at Rolling Stone. Then he dabbled with the somewhat more establishment Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Daily News.

As a staff editor for the budding San Francisco-based culture magazine, he helped shape Rolling StoneÍs music coverage. But in writing, he answered to a distinctly eclectic muse. He ranged from delving into Working’s Stud Terkel, to the peculiarities of the budding drug accessory industry quaintly known as “paraphernalia.”

Giving a start to the ‘Terminator’?

Looking back at that period, however, some see his most significant contribution as casting the first serious magazine light on the personal transformation of a young body-builder known mainly among denizens of Santa Monica’s gyms and beaches.

Peck saw something unusual in the attempt of this mountainous figure to become Mr. Olympia for the seventh time. And the writer’s compelling Rolling Stone saga helped propel the career that led the muscleman to become one of the world’s most popular actors, the spouse of a beautiful Kennedy-family news reporter, and, most recently, California governor. In short, we may all owe Abe for the phenomenon known as Arnold Schwarzenegger. Look for Peck in the film “Pumping Iron.”

In some ways, Abe never quite left the ’60s and its special media creations. Thus, he is author of Uncovering the Sixties: The Life and Times of the Underground Press. In that volume, he traces some of the beginnings of the alternative media movement to, of all publications, Mad magazine. And he has edited or contributed to nine other books, some of which touched on that theme. And he was a contributing writer to the history of the decade, Voices from the Underground, as well as The Eighties: A Look Back. Additionally, Peck wrote an 8,000-word feature for Crain’s Chicago Business on the 20th anniversary of the 1968 Democratic Convention.

An academic voice for B2B publications

So what’s he done to earn a place with ASBPE’s distinguished list of business publication legends? Plenty.

In his 28 years at Northwestern, he has directed Medill’s magazine program, and worked with the school’s prestigious Media Management Center and its cutting-edge New Digital/ Publishing Projects. Those efforts brought to academia and the student population an understanding and enthusiasm for B2B magazines that is truly unusual and exemplary. His students have created more than 30 prototypes under his tutelage — many of them business publications.

His publishing workshops have been conducted across the U.S. and in Ecuador, England, Finland, the Philippines, and Hong Kong. And he’s been an especially valued consultant to Advanstar Communications in the U.S. and England, helping with its editorial audits alongside another ASBPE Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Advanstar editorial director Vernon Henry. And he has served in consulting roles for B2B publishers including Crain, Lebhar-Friedman, Vance, Putman, and Global Sources.

His journalism judging has extended to the National Magazine Awards and the Jesse H. Neal Awards. His associations with ASBPE trace back to the 1980s. He has attended several ASBPE Azbee Awards of Excellence banquets, introducing previous honoree Stan Modic in 2006, and supporting his colleague Henry for the award in 2001, and former student, Stephen Barr Award winner Shabnam Mogharabi, in 2007.

The Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication’s magazine division named him Educator of the Year in 2004, and in 2006, the Chicago Journalism Hall of Fame enshrined the man who, 35 years earlier, had been a protestor choking on tear gas in the city’s Lincoln Park.

This is retirement?

Medill Dean Lavine notes that Peck has been one of his most trusted advisors, especially in the school reform strategy known as Medill 2020. Not surprisingly, for someone active in the “ counterculture,” Peck is also the one who regularly tells the dean “when he thinks we’ve made a wrong decision or should change a plan that is under consideration.”

As Peck and his wife Suzanne move to California, he will be special counselor to the dean and help develop B2B media and the school’s New Digital/ Publishing Projects. They will continue offering magazine seminars and his wife’s specialty, diversity, at the Media Management Center, with Peck also representing the Center in China and India.

Peck’s editorial performance reviews will continue with Advanstar, as will his lecturing in China and Hong Kong with his Asia consulting partner, Don Brown, the former publisher of Time Asia.

If there ever was a character nimble enough to give advice to publications adjusting to the rapid-fire technological, financial, and artistic environment, that character is ASBPE’s 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Abe Peck.

— Roy Harris, ASBPE Immediate Past President

What People Say About Abe Peck

“When you travel with Abe (for me, it has been 12 years, now) one thing is certain: no matter where you go, chances are you’ll run into a student or former student of his. I’m always amazed at the many lives that Abe has touched in such positive ways. One example particularly stands out to me. Abe told me of returning a student’s paper a while back that was laced with a lot of tiny errors. It looked as if the paper was bleeding red ink. He told the student that he had talent but, ’you have to work on the small things just as much as the big ideas.’ He told the student to write him in ten years about how he was doing and ’we can have a “Goodbye Mr. Chips” moment, but it’s not going to happen if you don’t pay more attention to the details.’

“Sure enough, some 15 years later the former student wrote Abe: ‘Well, it took me a little longer than ten years to get back to you, but those words meant more to me than you can know.’ The former student has been successful with cover stories in New York magazine and The New York Times Magazine.

“Abe responded to his former student, ‘ …I can’t thank you enough for your note. I work on 25 magazines a year and judge more, but a note like yours is the ultimate accolade and compensation.’

“Like Mr. Chips, the beloved teacher who guided generations of students, Abe genuinely cares for those he’s taught. He instills in them a respect for the craft of journalism in what becomes an ongoing education and life-long friendship.”

Vernon E. Henry
Corporate Editorial Director
Advanstar Communications
ASBPE Lifetime Achievement Award, 2001

“In a recent class, a student jokingly said ‘We’ve never been invited to the Oprah Book Club.’ Abe was sitting in back of the room, computer on lap, typing, presumably engrossed in answering e-mails. He piped up … ‘Speak for yourself!’

“That’s Abe. Witty, original, multi-tasking, thinking, listening … always in motion.

“Working with Abe is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity. I have been very fortunate to have that privilege for twelve years. I thank you, Abe.
Here’s to the next life achievements you have on your ‘to do’ list.”

Queenie Burns, VP, design & production
Marketing & Technology Group

“Abe Peck was hired to be a staff editor, and in the mid-1970s he was instrumental in guiding Rolling Stone’s music section through a difficult transition period.

“But I prefer to remember Abe for his writing contributions. We’ve always prized eclecticism at Rolling Stone, and he was most certainly that. He did a cover piece on the Village People, as you know. He also reported on the future Governor of California’s quest for a seventh ‘Mr. Olympia’ title and examined Studs Terkel’s remarkable career.

“Then there was the time we sent Abe to a paraphernalia show in New York City. Paraphernalia — in case you’ve forgotten — consisted of legal products used to consume illegal substances. Abe was so taken by a 52-page, four-color catalog from an outfit called Adam’s Apple that he was inspired to pen a ditty based very loosely on ‘There is Nothing Like a Dame’ from the great musical South Pacific.

“With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein, it went like this:

It’s got papers, it’s got bongs
It’s got chillums, it’s got masks
It’s got pipes made of acrylic, and wood
and glass and brass
It’s got spoons, stashes and snorters,
And testing kits for coke
What ain’t it got? It ain’t got dope!

“Throughout his remarkable 28-year career at Northwestern University, Abe remained a member of the Rolling Stone family, staying in touch with our own far-flung alumni and frequently visiting our New York offices. He also gave a number of our editors a chance to guest lecture his students at the Medill School of Journalism, where he literally built a magazine curriculum from the ground up.

“So I can only close with a deep bow of gratitude and affection, and say: ‘Well done, Abe.’”

“How do you capture a man forever in motion? Maestro of the Muse, Swami of the ’60s, Sultan of Schmooze, Abe Peck has tightly woven 28 years of mentorship into a worldwide web of relationships.

“Like Jacob, Abe sired a global tribe of writers, editors and literati that now dots the media landscape, from the corner offices of Conde Nast to the basement bureaus of aspiring novelists, screenwriters and bloggers.

“Although far flung, an entire generation of “Abe’s children” today shares a common language, perspective and unyielding commitment to the written word. With humor, wit and boundless energy, Abe has been our personal sherpa on a great adventure that now extends far beyond the printed page.

“And while some of his contemporaries now settle into the comfortable cushions of past accomplishments, Abe is now venturing out to explore the frontier of the new media landscape.

“I, for one, am eager to see where this next excursion leads.

“Those of us left behind will eagerly await his dispatches. To quote Abe’s perennial voice mail message: ‘Until then, bye bye.’ ”

“Great advances in social change are often stirred and galvanized by the courageous independent voice of one individual. Abe Peck has contributed to a great human tradition his entire adult life. In 1968 he was the editor of the Chicago Seed, inspiring me and so many others with his words of encouragement and courage of conviction. From a single seed planted in Chicago decades ago, the legacy, vision and dedication of Abe Peck has emerged for all to see. Thank you for inviting me to add my support for your choice of Abe Peck for the 2008 Life Time Achievement Award.

“The day I was offered a job that required me to move from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., Abe Peck was one of the first people I called — he came right after my mom and my best friend. This was not unusual for me. I have consulted with Abe on nearly every career move I have ever made. What do you think of this company? Is this a good opportunity? What salary is suitable? Am I making the right decision? Do you know someone at the company who might talk to me about the work environment?

“My questions were many, and his answers were always welcome. Abe’s advice is practical, wise, and above all, selfless. In his tenure at Northwestern University, Abe has helped hundreds of students like me navigate the challenging, competitive world of media. He helped shape NU’s Medill School of Journalism into what it is today — one of the country’s best journalism institutions. What’s more, Abe believes in the power of magazines. In fact, without him, the school would have no magazine publishing project — a program that has spawned some of the most talented and successful magazine writers and editors in this country.

“While most J-schools scoff trade journalism, Abe touted its benefits and encouraged young, driven journalists to take the skills and ideas they learned about the news industry and change the stigmas associated with B2B publishing. Yet he also let students decide for themselves where their interests lay. He was there to guide his students towards the paths that best complement their skills and also help them achieve their goals. And to do so, he will put you in touch with just about anybody in the industry — a classmate at Medill once said that Abe’s rolodex was ‘J-school–grad gold.’

“Abe got his start as a reporter at Rolling Stone, and I think no era suits Abe better than the rock ’n’ roll times of the 1960s and 1970s. He is passionate and energetic, fiercely intelligent, and always ready for a good time. In fact, if you’re up for a treat, add the film “Pumping Iron” to your Netflix list. It’s a documentary on body building feature Arnold Schwarzenegger and (you guessed it) Abe Peck as a Rolling Stone reporter.”

“Abe comes as close as any professor can to being a ‘national treasure.’ He has been a major influence on magazines across the globe and on a multitude of students, faculty and administrators at Northwestern. …

“For me, Abe has also been a trusted adviser. He’s been consistent and vocal in his support of Medill 2020; at the same time he regularly tells me when he thinks we’ve made a wrong decision or should change a plan that is under consideration. Beyond his new formal activities, I look forward to Abe continuing his constructive and helpful input and to him bringing all of us new ideas from his expanded industry involvement both here and abroad. … For me having Abe as a friend and colleague has enriched every day I’ve spent at Northwestern.”

What the judges said…
“A really nice package. Extremely useful for anyone looking to benchmark compensation and other factors, and get career tips. The way a reader can use the print article for basic info, and then go online to analyze numbers is very user friendly. Online salary calculator is especially nice interactive value. With a live online chat with a recruiter, the value grows exponentially.”
