Publication of the Year
Travel + Leisure
Around 50 years ago, the editors of a magazine called Travel & Camera made a big leap forward, embracing not just photography, but the entire world. They’d cover food, wine, fashion, hotels, cruises, beaches, cities, hiking, skiing — just about anything that anybody would do for fun. They’d need a new name — Travel & Leisure — and a new look for that magazine.
