National Magazine Awards, Winners

The American Society of Magazine Editors announced that ProPublica won two of its 2025 National Magazine Awards, also known as the Ellies, honoring excellence in print and digital media.

ProPublica won the award for general excellence in the news, sports and entertainment category — a first for the organization.

A trio of pieces in the “Life of the Mother” series won the public interest award: “Abortion Bans Have Delayed Emergency Medical Care. In Georgia, Experts Say This Mother’s Death Was Preventable” by Kavitha Surana and “A Pregnant Teenager Died After Trying to Get Care in Three Visits to Texas Emergency Rooms” by Lizzie Presser and Surana are a part of an ongoing investigation into the unexamined, irreversible consequences of state abortion bans.
