The New Yorker received the National Magazine Award for Photography, winning for images illustrating three very distinct stories. For “A Safe Haven for Late Abortions,” the photographer Maggie Shannon documented efforts by a midwife and a physician to open and run an abortion clinic in Maryland, to which some patients had travelled because the procedure was illegal in their home states. (Shannon received the assignment on June 24, 2src22, the day the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.) At Columbia University, the veteran photojournalist and faculty member Nina Berman turned the lens on her own campus, chronicling the protests and counterprotests that erupted over the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. And for “Sorry I’m Not Your Clown Today,” a Profile of the comedian Bowen Yang, the photographer Ryan McGinley captured the entertainer in a variety of colorful scenes—riding in a helicopter, sitting on a Jet Ski, dancing in front of an open fire hydrant.
“Incident,” a short documentary directed by Bill Morrison and produced by Jamie Kalven, received the National Magazine Award for Video. The film, which received an Oscar nomination in January, uses footage from surveillance and police body cameras to examine the killing of Harith Augustus, a Black barber in Chicago who was shot by police on a city street.

In addition, The New Yorker earned two ASME Awards for Design, Photography, and Illustration, which recognize visual excellence. McGinley’s portraits of Yang received the ASME for Best Entertainment and Celebrity Photography, while the prize for Best Animated Illustrations went to the gleaming, unnerving figures illustrating “The Mormon TikTok Moms Are All of Us,” a critical look at a Hulu reality series.
