Grand View Media Group Brings Home Two Folio Eddie Awards

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., August 24, 2010 - Grand View Media Group garnered two Folio Eddie Awards, which recognize editorial excellence in magazine publishing.

Grand View Media Group received a Bronze award in the Consumer, Sports, Single Article category for “Black Ducks in a Gale.” The article appeared in an issue of Waterfowl & Retriever.

In the Consumer, Enthusiasts/Hobbyists, Single Article category, Grand View Media Group won a Bronze award for “Thirsty in Elkland,” an article appearing within Bowhunting World.

“'Black Ducks in a Gale' originated in a saltwater marsh in New Brunswick, Canada on a duck hunting assignment for Waterfowl & Retriever magazine," said the article's writer, Mark Olis. "As the first bands of Hurricane Noel started pummeling the Maritime province I thought ‘this will be a story I’ll one day tell my grandkids.’ It was an honor to see one of Grand View Media’s publications in the winner’s circle with other well-established titles, such as, Golf Digest and Field & Stream,” Olis said

"Grand View Media Group is extremely honored to have been recognized by the FOLIO: Eddie Awards," said Brent Kizzire, VP of Operations for Grand View Media Group. “The number of publishing awards we’ve earned over the past two years has dramatically increased. This is a testament to our publishing team’s commitment to excellence."
