The award-winning Army AL&T magazine announced the winners of its annual "ALTies" awards, celebrating the best article, commentary, graphic, ad and photograph from 2013. Editor-in-Chief Nelson McCouch III presented the awards March 27, following Army AL&T magazine's second annual writer's workshop at the U.S. Army Acquisition Service Center (USAASC).
"Each issue of Army AL&T is a collaborative process, a team effort," McCouch said. "Without our contributors, who help us continually raise the bar on quality, we would not have a magazine. But we have a great one that gets better with every issue." Claire Heininger, editor/lead writer for Program Executive Office Command, Control and Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T), and a regular Army AL&T contributor, was guest speaker at the workshop.
McCouch also announced the new online version of Army AL&T magazine offering that offers a significantly improved interface, simpler navigation, and enables users to share stories with friends and colleagues and through social media.
