DIRECT Wins Certificate of Merit at Neal Awards

DIRECT Magazine won a certificate of merit for best single issue of a magazine in the 45th Annual Jesse H. Neal Editorial Achievement Awards competition. The certificate was granted to DIRECT’s 10th Anniversary issue (October 15, 1998).

Leslie C. Bacon, publisher of DIRECT, said, “I am extremely pleased to hear that DIRECT has, once again, been recognized with a Neal Award for its outstanding editorial. The fact that it was the entire 10th Anniversary issue of DIRECT that was honored is particularly gratifying. Our editorial team’s dedication, high standards and strong relationships within the marketplace are responsible for DIRECT’s position as the leading authority in the direct marketing field.”

The Neal Awards were created by American Business Press to recognize and award excellence in independent business publications. The Neals are presented annually to those editors who have submitted entries exhibiting journalistic enterprise, service to the field and editorial craft.
