Ellie Up!

Four Bonnier Corp. brands have been honored with nominations for the 2009 National Magazine Awards. The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) announced the finalists for the Ellies, named after the Alexander Calder stabile Elephant.  Many consider the Ellies the magazine industry's highest honor.
