FROM THE MANAGING EDITOR, Page 20
</hdr><body>
<p> A few weeks ago, our publisher used this space to boast a
little about the string of prizes we've collected over the past
year. This week I'm borrowing the space to talk about an award
that the publisher herself just won. Lisa Valk, the first woman
ever to hold the title of publisher at TIME, has won the 1992
Matrix Award in recognition of her "outstanding career
achievement" in the magazine industry. The Matrix, administered
by the New York chapter of Women in Communications, is the
nearest thing to an Oscar for female magazine executives (past
winners include Gloria Steinem, Grace Mirabella, Tina Brown and
Helen Gurley Brown). Congratulations, Lisa!
</p>
<p> Congratulations are also in order for TIME's photo
department, which took more than its share of top magazine
honors in the 49th annual Pictures of the Year Competition,
sponsored by the National Press Photographers Association and
the University of Missouri School of Journalism. In an
extraordinary display of strength, TIME photographers snapped
up 18 awards--including Magazine Photographer of the Year to
Christopher Morris for his coverage of civil war in Yugoslavia
and a first-place prize in the Magazine Picture Story category
to Anthony Suau for his photo essay on the persecution of the
Kurds.
</p>
<p> Next week the winners of the prestigious National Magazine
Awards will be announced. It is not unusual for one or two TIME
stories to be named as finalists. But this year we were
nominated in three different categories--three times as many
as either of the other weekly newsmagazines. Barbara Ehrenreich
was named for three of her TIME Essays. This follows nicely on
last year's awards, when her colleague Lance Morrow was
nominated in the same category. Senior writer Eugene Linden was
singled out for his Sept. 23, 1991, cover story on the knowledge
lost when ancient tribes are assimilated into the modern world.
And associate editor Richard Behar was cited for his May 6,
1991, expose of the Church of Scientology. We're proud of them
all.
