"Winning the ASBPE 'Magazine of the Year' is a tremendous honor and a testament to the importance of high-quality editorial and thought leadership for senior executives," said Publisher Jon Fyffe. "Public CIO's unique voice has resonated strongly and helped foster new collaboration across the public sector."
In a blog posted to the PCIO site today, PCIO Editor Tod Newcombe chronicled the development of PCIO. "
Emergency Management is a publication designed to provide leadership and strategy insight on the critical roles and responsibilities involved in joint operations, planning and recovery for any major threat or emergency. It was launched in 2006 and is published quarterly. "This award is a tribute to both the editorial staff of Emergency Management magazine who have created a terrific publication, and to the emergency managers, first responders and all those who serve the public in times of immense need," said Publisher Tim Karney.
Because the ASBPE awards are determined by leading business publication editors, they are considered by many as the industry's most prestigious level of recognition in magazine excellence.
