The Walrus Leads National Magazine Awards

We earned 25 nominations for our investigative journalism, essays, illustrations, and more

Moved and grateful. That’s how I feel about our extraordinary showing at the National Magazine Awards this year and how wide the recognition runs—25 nominations across genres, formats, categories, and editorial approaches. The Walrus is a collective effort: editors, writers, fact checkers, designers, illustrators, production, events, and partnerships. For the last few years, we have been pushing each other to rethink what our journalism can be and who it can speak to, and much of that experimentation and audacity has been recognized here. I’m really humbled by this team and what we’re building together.

Thank you to all our readers and supporters. And congratulations to all the nominees.

—Carmine Starnino, Editor-in-Chief
