MAGAZINE EDITORS' HALL OF FAME

Past Recipients

The Magazine Editors' Hall of Fame was established in 1995 to recognize career-long achievement and excellence of a select group of magazine editors. In addition to being at the pinnacle of his/her career, the recipient should also have a record of "giving back" to the magazine industry as a whole, either through industry associations or other voluntary and cooperative forms of service.
