Founded in 1964 as the American Society of Business Press Editors, the ASBPE is "the professional association for full-time and freelance editors, writers, art directors, and designers employed in the business, trade, and specialty press." The association's annual Awards of Excellence (coined the "Azbee Awards") recognize the best in editorial and design by magazines, newsletters and digital media, including websites, e-newsletters, digital magazines and blogs.
The latest awards add to MPA Media's growing legacy of excellence as recognized by the nation's top publishing organizations. In 2011, MPA Media won a national Azbee Award (silver) for Investigative Reporting (Massage Today) and two regional awards: silver for Investigative Reporting (Massage Today) and gold for Best Contributed Column (Acupuncture Today).
Last year, MPA Media also received national awards in two categories from FOLIO, widely considered the most competitive and rigorously judged journalism awards in the U.S. MPA Media received two honorable mentions: Best App for DC Practice Insights – the first time any chiropractic publication has been nominated for a FOLIO award in any category – and Best Series of Articles for "Acupuncture Today in China."
