Newport Communications continues to build its dominance as the trucking industry's leading publisher, picking up four national 2002 editorial awards from the American Society of Business Publication Editors.
Heavy Duty Trucking took home a total of three national ASBPE editorial awards. Newport's RoadStar also picked up a national editorial award in the competition.
"A quality product doesn't mean just publishing pretty truck pictures," said Newport President and Heavy Duty Trucking Publisher Doug Condra. "It means providing readers with in-depth content that helps them operate at peak levels."
Condra won the top ASBPE prize in the Best Signed Editorial category, taking the Gold Award for Heavy Duty Trucking. The award is his 16th national writing honor. In addition, he holds the Crain Award from the American Business Media for Lifetime Achievement.
An ASBPE Silver Award in the Government Coverage category also went to Heavy Duty Trucking for the April and May 2001 issues. Receiving the award are: Deborah Whistler, editor; Oliver Patton, Washington editor; and Senior Editors Steve Sturgess, Patricia Smith and Deborah Lockridge.
Heavy Duty Trucking also won the ASBPE Bronze Award for the September 2001 cover story "Killer Chemicals," which earlier this year won the American Business Media's Neal Award. Winners were Whistler, Sturgess, Patton and Executive Editor Jim Winsor.
RoadStar, Newport's owner-driver magazine, ran its tally of national editorial awards to nine in the past three years by winning the ASBPE Bronze Award in the News Section category. The winner was the November 2001 cover story entitled "Trucking After The Terror." RoadStar editors honored are Sturgess, Whistler, Patton, Winsor, Lockridge, Senior Editor Patricia Smith, Technology Editor John Bendel and Editor At Large Bette Garber.
