STC gives out two awards for the exemplary work published in Intercom: the best article of the year and the best guest-edited issue of the year. This year’s judging team for the awards consisted of Saul Carliner (Chair), Michelle Despres, Linda Oestreich, Kirk St.Amant, Marta Rauch, and Kelly Schrank.
The judges are pleased to announce the winners of the Intercom Outstanding Article Award: Jenn Carlos, Travis Kelly, and Vivianne Costa for their article, “Measuring Content Like a Marketer: Getting Started with Web Analytics” in the 2016 March issue of Intercom.
The citation reads:
For clearly and enthusiastically explaining how to collect quantitative and qualitative data about Web-based content and use it to strengthen future content and persuade stakeholders of the value of technical communication.
The Intercom Outstanding Guest Edited Issue goes to Nicky Bleiel for her guest-edited 2016 December issue, with a theme of “legends of technical communication.”
The citation reads:
Because of the exceptional commitment of the guest editor, this special issue tells the history of the field from well-informed perspectives and, as significantly, creates an emotional connection with these “legends” and our field.
Congratulations to all the honorees.
