Wits wins best corporate publication award
BRAAMFONTEIN – The WITSReview is said to connects alumni to their alma mater and profiles the impact they have had in being a force for good in the world.
Wits University’s alumni magazine, WITSReview was recognised as the best corporate publication in South Africa in the 2021 corporate publication competition hosted by SA Publication Forum.
Publications Sanlam Connect and Sanlam Engage were runners up in the competition, followed by BrightRock, JLP Television, and Old Mutual.
WITSReview was announced as the winner at a virtual awards function held recently. It also won best external magazine (category A), best writing and best design categories in the competition.
Wits graduates have made a significant contribution to society in all spheres of endeavour, both nationally and internationally. WITSReview connects alumni to their alma mater and profiles the impact they have had in being a force for good in the world. The latest issue (October 2021) profiles Wits alumni who blew the whistle on state capture.
Moderator of the competition, Surisa Nel said WITSReview managed to exude the high standards of the academic institution it represented while at the same time never sounding pompous or boring. “It is un-put-downable and a proud flag-bearer of one of South Africa’s finest universities,” she added.
Editor of the WITSReview, Peter Maher said the editorial team was extremely honoured for their work to be recognised for excellence. “Over the past century, Wits and Witsies have played an incredibly important role in the story of South Africa. We are inspired by the impact the university and its graduates have on society and are always excited to bring these stories to life in the magazine.”
