The New Yorker Wins Three National Magazine Awards

“Incident,” a short documentary directed by Bill Morrison and produced by Jamie Kalven, received the National Magazine Award for video. The film, which received an Oscar nomination in January, uses footage from surveillance and police body cameras to examine the killing of Harith Augustus, a Black barber in Chicago who was shot by police on a city street.

In addition, The New Yorker earned two ASME Awards for Design, Photography, and Illustration, which recognize visual excellence. McGinley’s portraits of Yang received the ASME for Best Entertainment and Celebrity Photography, while the prize for Best Animated Illustrations went to the gleaming, unnerving figures illustrating “The Mormon TikTok Moms Are All of Us,” a critical look at a Hulu reality series.
