The post Inside Housing, New Statesman, Which? and Times celebrate double wins at BSME Awards appeared first on Press Gazette.

Property Week editor Giles Barrie was a double winner at last night's BSME awards, claiming an editor of the year prize and a campaigns award.

He picked up the prize in the same week that he announced he is leaving Property Week after 10 years as editor to join communications company FTI Consulting.

Barrie won editor of the year in the Business and Professional Magazines (weekly) category and his magazine was also recognised for its campaign, 'UBM Built Environment, for Site Life'.

He tweeted on the night:

Wow! I win @bsmeinfo Weekly Business Editor at 9th time of trying. Thank you to everyone – over and out on February 15

— Giles Barrie (@GilesBarrie) November 12, 2012

and:

Amazing! @propertyweek wins @bsmeinfo Award II – Campaign of the Year for Site Life. Thanks again

— Giles Barrie (@GilesBarrie) November 12, 2012

Speaking to Press Gazette last week, Barrie explained his decision to leave the UBM title saying: "I've been a hack for 25 years and an editor for 10 years and there comes a time when you want to do something different."

Barrie said he felt he had taken Property Week from being number two in its market to being on a par with rival title Estates Gazette. He said he was also pleased at the number of Property Week journalists who had gone on to national press careers and felt he had completed the title's transformation from magazine to multi-platform brand.

Last month his number two on the title, executive editor James Whitmore, announced he was leaving to join PR firm Tavistock.

Editors' editor of the year went to Cosmopolitan editor Louise Court, also highly commended in the Women's Magazines (monthly or less frequent) editor of the year award.

Kitty Finstead, BSME chair and group editor, August Media, said: “It’s been a fantastic year for magazines, with editors embracing new platforms and consistently raising the editorial bar for their readers.

"This year’s awards recognise the phenomenal skill and influence of the best of British talent.”

The post BSME Awards 2012: The full shortlist appeared first on Press Gazette.

For some reason, consumer magazines are different. Here, the web skeptics are still alive and kicking.

Week in, week out, there are countless bits of proof. They float by in the form of half-committed nostrums tossed off for media reporters.

(You know the kind of thing: “Our web properties continue to operate as a valued extension of our print brands.” Or: “We believe that print has massive appeal and plenty of longevity as a medium.” Etcetera, etcetera.)

Then there are the signals of internalised stress. Take Stefano Maruzzi, president of Conde Nast Interactive, who discussed the divide between “digital barbarians” and “editorial purists” in his company at the AOP’s conference in early October.

“Inside the company all the digital content was driven by editors. Nothing against editors, I am a journalist myself, but I thought we needed specialists. . . We changed so much of the culture within the organization that some people decided to leave. . . “

You can bet that the departures to which Maruzzi refers are just the tip of the iceberg. Behind them sits an ice cliff of passive resistance.

Surely consumer magazines should be beyond that by now?

In one way, it’s puzzling that they’re not. These are media platforms with passionate users. (Do they have something to say? Of course they do — if they’re encouraged to do so on the read/write web.)

Conspicuous consumption of beautiful objects looms large on the agenda. (Anyone for video? When the web lands on your TV screens in a few years’ time, Conde Nast and IPC will need to be ready for it.)

And then there’s shopping (You might think that price comparison engines sit oddly with luxury ads for handbags. But even India Knight at the Sunday Times is babbling on about The New Thrift.)

How-to advice? It’s a natural for the web. Mascara application techniques, wallpaper hanging tips, whatever: stick ’em into a database, make them searchable — and promote the hell out of them. (Think Martha Stewart. Or Delia. Or maybe a version of Lifehacker for Vogue readers. . ?)

When it comes to the digital future of consumer magazines, no one stirs ’em up quite like David Hepworth. He was at it again this week, winding up attendees at a debate organised by the British Society of Magazine Editors and the Editorial Design Organisation.

Now I happen to disagree with Hepworth’s suggestion that audio — rather than video — will matter most to consumer magazine publishers in the near future.

But that’s small beer. What Hepworth offers in spades is imagination, curiosity and — important this — humility. As he suggests, the latter will be needed by the tonne in the face of the web’s coming onslaught on the final redoubt of Big Media.

The depressing thing is how Hepworth’s barbed insights seemed to elicit more than a bit of hoary conservatism from the audience.

‘I don’t think the web will ever be the final destination for women. . . I think that women prefer to pick up magazines for an emotional attachment.”

“Today more than ever we need high brow, high-thinking [content].”

Humility? You couldn’t call it that. Coded? Almost certainly. Nimbyist? Quite probably.

Admittedly I wasn’t present last night. So I’m trying to read between the lines of Paul McNally’s report for Press Gazette — always a dangerous thing.

But the notion of David Hepworth talking to the BSME reminds me of David Cameron addressing the serried ranks of white faces at a Conservative party conference.

Deep down, you suspect that some (or many?) of the audience really would prefer to see their hero have a right old go at the immigrants — digital, illegal, or otherwise — who are ruining a fondly-remembered green and pleasant land.

But Hepworth knows that the consumer magazine industry ain’t going back to 1986 or 1997. He knows that a return to the equivalent of that mythic England created by the producers of Heartbeat isn’t possible for the industry.

Perhaps, then, it’s time for the sector’s digital barbarians to really push on. Recessions, after all, have a way of bringing long-buried fault-lines to the surface. . .
