Were you surprised by Corporate Knight's win for best magazine at the 2013 NMAs? J-Source's Eric Mark Do looks at the mag's rise, its mission, and the criticism it faces.

Unbound presents its next Get Digital event, Creating Great Content, next week in Toronto. While we're on that track, check out Leigh Fowler's "Going Digital: 6 Reasons Why an Editor Should Blog."

The week's most talked about mag cover was Rolling Stone's treatment of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, which drew heavy criticism for "glamourizing" the young man. Our own Scott Bullock, however, didn't see what all the fuss was about. For more counterpoints, check out The New Yorker's "The Inconvenient Image of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev".
