Carol Stream, IL April 12, 2018 - Christianity Today was honored with top publishing awards—32 in total—at the Evangelical Press Association's (EPA) annual convention April 4-6, 2018 in Orlando. For the second year in a row, both CT print magazine and website, ChristanityToday.com, won Awards of Excellence in the General Publication category.
Each year the Evangelical Press Association hold two contests to honor member publications, the Awards of Excellence for publications as a whole and the Higher Goals for individual pieces that were produced in the past year.
Christianity Today also won several first place awards, including in the General Article: Medium category for "In the Image of Our Choosing" about genetic engineering and Christian ethics, and in the Reporting category for "Bringing Light to the Trafficking Fight" , an on-the-ground report from Cambodia about Christians leading the progress against the child sex industry.
"Our staff is humbled by this kind of industry recognition," said CT president and CEO Harold Smith. "And it is especially gratifying to know that the vision of our late founder Billy Graham to create content that speaks with both conviction and love—something we today call Beautiful Orthodoxy—remains strong."
