July 20, 2009 (Norwalk, CT) – The announcement last week of the 2009
Eco Awards demonstrates that
E – The Environmental Magazine, the nation’s premier green publication, remains a vital source for in-depth, credible environmental coverage. The
ECO Awards recognize outstanding achievement by environmental communications professionals. Out of 174 entries,
E received two of the 42 Awards of Merit presented, winning in the categories of “overall print magazine” for
E Magazine and “regular column” for its nationally syndicated
EarthTalk feature
.
About E
Founded in 1990 by publisher and executive editor Doug Moss,
E Magazine is a nonprofit “clearinghouse” of environmental information, news and resources.
E reaches a national audience in a smartly designed full-color format, printed on recycled paper, and currently enjoys a bimonthly readership of 180,000, including subscribers, newsstand/bookstore buyers and libraries.
Among its media and environmental colleagues,
E has earned an excellent reputation for thorough and balanced reporting and for being “ahead of the curve” and a consistent thought-leader.
E was one of the first magazines for general readers to sound the alarm on a number of emerging environmental concerns, including: the observable effects of climate change around the world; the environmental impacts of the bottled water industry; and ecological connections to and avian flu.
E’s articles enjoy substantial mainstream media syndication, regularly appearing in the pages of major newspapers and other magazines. Many
E stories have also inspired other major media coverage, including an
NBC Nightly News report on water issues, a
Time magazine cover story on the environmental and health benefits of a vegetarian diet, and a
Parade magazine feature entitled, “Make Your Household Healthy.” In addition, green groups use
E articles extensively in waging their own public education campaigns.
In 2005,
E’s editors authored
Green Living: The E Magazine
Handbook for Living Lightly on the Earth, a comprehensive guide to the environmental lifestyle. From recycling to rainforest protection,
Green Living introduces readers to broad categories of issues, and features a compendium of green products and services, from organic foods to non-toxic cleaners to “eco-travel” options. Like
E itself, the book is loaded with contact information so readers can conduct further research.
About EarthTalk
EarthTalk not only appears in the bimonthly magazine but is also a nationally syndicated weekly question-and-answer feature that is distributed free, and by request only, to over 1,750 newspapers, magazines and websites. The column is also posted by some highly trafficked websites, including MSNBC.com,
The New York Times’ About.com,
PopSci (the website of
Popular Science magazine),
Sciam.com (the website of
Scientific American), and regional web portals such as
Kansas City Infozine.
EarthTalk answers reader-submitted questions on a wide range of environmental topics, ranging from “Are my kids breathing in dangerous exhaust fumes by riding the school bus?” to “Where can I recycle my plastic CD jewel cases?”
EarthTalk is an effort to reach beyond “the choir” of committed environmentalists and offer highly useful information to sympathetic but uninformed people shown in poll after poll to be ready and even eager for “green” information. In February 2009, Plume (an imprint of Penguin publishing) released a “best of”
EarthTalk book that is now available in stores.
"As we approach
E's 20th anniversary and
EarthTalk's 6th, we are heartened by this recognition for our work spreading environmental intelligence to a public increasingly eager to learn about these issues and how they can make a difference," says Moss.
