IU’s INside magazine is the best college magazine in the nation, according to the Society of Professional Journalists, which announced its collegiate Mark of Excellence honors Monday.

“It’s always great to win, but especially so for the INside magazine because it is so new,” said Nancy Comiskey, IU interim director of student media. INside was launched in fall 2006 and the award honors issues published in calendar year 2007.

The issues submitted included the sex and predictions issues, both edited by Brian Janosch; and the global and seven deadly sins issues, both edited by Kelsey Peters.

Mark of Excellence is SPJ’s category for collegiate competition. This year, college journalists submitted 3,400 entries in 39 categories. The entries previously had won first place awards in regional contests. The awards will be presented formally at the organization’s national conference in Atlanta Sept. 5.

A photograph of a Little 500 bike race also won a national first place for Ashley Wilkerson (M.A. ’07), Aaron Bernstein, Geoffrey Miller and Jay Seawell.
