Hearst's Tower Awards Recap

Who would have thought that some of Hearst's own magazines would have been snubbed at the first ever "Tower Awards".

Taking home one award each were Harper's Bazaar for September photography, Popular Mechanics and Town & Country on Katrina-related topics, Good Housekeeping for a makeover package, CosmoGirl for its regular feature on a future female president and Seventeen for "innovation" on its "America's Next Top Model" partnership, a legacy of bygone editor in chief Atoosa Rubenstein.
