Glamour and Heat tie for consumer mag of the year

By Press Gazette

Heat and Glamour: joint winners

Heat and Glamour picked up a joint award for consumer magazine of the year at the PPA Awards on Wednesday – Heat for the second year in a row.

The judges could not decide on an overall winner, branding Glamour “the ultimate package” and congratulating it for clinching market leadership from Cosmopolitan in its first year. Heat, they said, had “reached outside itself and spawned the ‘Heat generation'”.

Community Care scooped the prize for best business title for its “challenging” editorial and “changing minds” campaign on children’s mental health.

Now editor Jane Ennis picked up consumer magazine editor of the year and Drapers editor Eric Musgrave was named best business magazine editor. The judges said Now relied on “the quality of its editorial, not the size of its chequebook”. Musgrave was commended for his strong sense of who’s who in the fashion industry.

Music magazine Uncut won consumer specialist title and international magazine and Meed (Middle East Economic Digest) was named international business magazine of the year.
