******* While it couldn't be said, strictly speaking, that the first-ever Tower awards given out by Hearst Magazines president Cathie Black on Tuesday offered a gold star for every student — Cosmopolitan, Redbook and the shelter titles were snubbed altogether from the 14 winners — the list was conspicuously inclusive. Esquire won for story of the year with Timesman C.J. Chivers' article on the school massacre in Beslan, Russia (also nominated in that other competition, the National Magazine Awards), and for a how-to feature. 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. Quick & Simple cracked the ever-elusive code for a cover line with "Why you need to eat chocolate every day!" Favored child O, The Oprah Magazine swept three awards for best special section, the "president's award" for diversity and public service. The one award that might have raised some eyebrows was that for cover of the year, since the September cover of Marie Claire that was singled out for praise both inaugurated the magazine's redesign and fared rather poorly on the newsstand — about 250,000 fewer copies sold than the comparable issues in the previous two years. Marie Claire's other award was no surprise, though, given that prizes themselves were named after the celebrated Hearst flagship building: it won photo of the year award for a fashion feature shot inside the Tower. MORE ONLINE Black presided over the awards dinner along with three guest presenters: CBS senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield and designers Kate and Andy Spade. Winners were selected from submissions based on more than 190 issues produced by the magazine division in 2006. Forty Hearst editors-in-chief, creative/design directors, and executive editors took part in the preliminary judging. Winners were chosen by a committee of industry notables from both inside and outside the company including Ellen Levine, editorial director, Hearst Magazines; Eliot Kaplan, editorial talent director, Hearst Magazines; Lindsay Nicholson, editorial director, the National Magazine Company, UK; and Susan Lyne, President and CEO of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. Strangely enough, a Hearst spokesperson indicated that the full list of nominees was not publicly disclosed.

Heather Pfaff, a freelance stylist, will join Cosmopolitan as senior fashion editor on Monday. She will replace Brooke Elder, who left on "good terms" and now is a freelancer. For more than six years, Pfaff has worked for In Style, Glamour, Self, Marie Claire and O, The Oprah Magazine. She also worked for the defunct Mademoiselle as senior fashion editor. Seventeen has also initiated several changes to the masthead, including one new hire and five promotions. Lucy Fox is the title's new features director; she formerly produced shoots for photo agency Exposure and also served as photo editor at Town & Country Weddings. And among the promotions, executive style director Joanna Saltz is now executive editor and associate photo editor Alana Anesh has the new title of photo editor. As for news outside of Hearst Tower, Shop Etc. vice president and publisher Cynthia Lewis has reappeared after the Hearst shopping title folded last September. Lewis on Tuesday was named president of Latina Media Ventures, publisher of Latina, and will oversee the company as it attempts to expand its media footprint across multiple platforms. Lewis spent more than a decade with Hearst, including as vice president and publisher of both Marie Claire and Harper's Bazaar. Lewis will join Peter Glusker, who was named ceo at Latina on Tuesday. The magazine, which has a circulation of 400,000, is the second-largest title targeted at Hispanics behind Time Inc.'s 475,000 circulation People en Espa?ol.

What better way for Marie Claire’s Joanna Coles or Harper’s Bazaar’s Glenda Bailey to receive a magazine award than by having, well, Hearst Magazines give them out? Hearst Magazines president Cathleen Black announced the winners of the publishing giant’s first annual Tower Awards—so named for the Lord Norman Foster-designed headquarters—for editorial excellence at a special dinner and ceremony at the Hearst Tower Tuesday. According to Hearst, the awards program was inaugurated to honor outstanding work in 14 categories including reporting, how-to journalism, photography, and design in Hearst magazines published in 2006. Black presided over the awards dinner along with three guest presenters: CBS senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield and designers Kate and Andy Spade. Winners were selected from submissions based on more than 190 issues produced by the magazine division in 2006. Forty Hearst editors-in-chief, creative/design directors, and executive editors took part in the preliminary judging.
