The Advocate named Outstanding Magazine at GLAAD Media Awards

The Advocate has been awarded the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Magazine Overall Coverage. GLAAD honored the iconic magazine at the 21st annual GLAAD Media Awards ceremony, held this past Saturday, March 13, in New York City. The Advocate competed in the Outstanding Magazine category with Entertainment Weekly, The Nation, Newsweek, and People.

“We at The Advocate are very honored to be singled out by GLAAD for this award—especially considering the incredibly high journalistic standards of the other nominees,” said The Advocate’s Editor in Chief, Jon Barrett. “This past year has been rich with what might be considered ‘gay news’—whether it be entertainment, politics, or culture. And we at The Advocate will continue to report and provide context to that news in a way that not only represents gay people fairly and accurately, but also challenges and expands our notions of what it means to be gay in today’s world.”
