IEEE-USA Recieves Award for Publication Excellence

WASHINGTON (13 July 2010) — IEEE-USA Today's Engineer Digest was recently honored with a 2010 APEX Award for Publication Excellence.

The Digest was one of eight publications selected out of 76 entries in the Magapapers & Newspaper-Print category. It was headed by Editor-in-Chief Terrance J. Malkinson and Managing Editor Georgia C. Stelluto.

Recognition is based on "excellence in graphic design, editorial content, and the success of the entry in achieving overall communications effectiveness and excellence."

Published in March 2009, IEEE-USA's winning entry was the final issue of Today's Engineer Digest. The magapaper has been replaced by IEEE-USA in Action, an interactive publication that debuted in April. See http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/ieeeusa/ieeeusa_0410/#/1/OnePage.
IEEE-USA also continues to publish a monthly webzine, IEEE-USA Today's Engineer (http://www.todaysengineer.org/).

The APEX Awards for Publication Excellence are for professionals who write, edit and manage business communications for a living. They are sponsored by Communications Concepts, Inc., publishers of business communication reports.

IEEE-USA advances the public good and promotes the careers and public policy interests of more than 210,000 engineers, scientists and allied professionals who are U.S. members of IEEE. http://www.ieeeusa.org
