July 01, 2011
The Linacre Quarterly was recently recognized by the Catholic Press Association at its 2011 awards ceremony held in Pittsburgh, Pa. on June 24. The 100-year-old Catholic Press Association annually recognizes the accomplishments and contributions made by members of the Catholic press.
The Linacre Quarterly won awards in two categories: In the category for Best Review Section, the Linacre won Third Place for Current Medical Research: Summer-Fall 2009 by Richard J. Fehring, Ph.D., R.N. This review was specifically cited for “In-depth heavyweight scientific research criticism. Broad spread of related subjects. Precise, informed writing. Best layout of the B&W, graphic-less entries. Nice use of spacing. italics, page proportions and balance.” Current Medical Research (CMR), is a supplement of NFP Forum, a publication of the Office of Natural Family Planning of the USCCB under the leadership of Theresa Notare, Ph.D., Assistant Director for the USCCB’s NFP Planning Program. Reprinted in The Linacre Quarterly with permission, CMR represents a collaboration of the CMA and the USCCB. CMA is grateful to Dr. Notare and the USCCB for making this collaboration possible.
In addition, the Linacre won an Honorable Mention in the category for Best Essay, Scholarly Magazine, for the article by Susan E. Wills, J.D., L.L.M., Condoms and AIDS: Is the Pope Right or Just “Horrifically Ignorant”?, which appeared in the February 2010 issue of the Linacre.
The editorial board of The Linacre Quarterly and, in particular, Editor-in-Chief William Williams, M.D., are to be commended for all their efforts on behalf of the CMA and the Linacre. May these awards be the first of many to come!
