Pittsburgh Quarterly Wins Best Magazine at the 60th Annual Golden Quill Awards

For the 18^th year in a row, Pittsburgh Quarterly was judged Western Pennsylvania’s best magazine in the 60^th annual Golden Quill Awards.  Pittsburgh Quarterly led all magazines by a wide margin, winning 12 Golden Quills, including Best of Show, in the contest sponsored by the Press Club of Western Pa. and judged by out-of-town journalists.

In most Golden Quill categories, media outlets are judged against similar media outlets.  IE newspaper vs. newspaper, magazine vs. magazine and TV station vs. TV station, etc.   In a small number of categories, however, all print media outlets in the region compete head-to-head.  Pittsburgh Quarterly won three such Golden Quills including: Best News or Feature Illustration – Daniel Marsula for “Missing Pieces;”  Best Editorial Cartoon – John Kichi, “Climate Change;” and Best Feature Photo – Matthew Malkiewicz, “All Aboard.” 

Pittsburgh Quarterly won nine other Golden Quill Awards – more than half of the 17 awards won by all regional magazines including:
