Today, CMP Media's CRN, the newsweekly of vital information for business and technology integrators, announced that it has won a Pub39 award from the Society of Publication Design in its 39th Annual Competition. This marks the fourth year in a row that CRN has won an award from the Society of Publication Design. This annual competition provides a venue for promoting and recognizing only the best in publication design.

CRN won the Pub39 from more than 8,000 submissions for the April 28, 2003 issue "VOIP: A Weak Point In Network Armour," produced by CRN's Art Director, Giulia Pobjecky.

CRN's winning entry will be featured in the Society's 39th Publication Design Annual and will also be on display at the Pub39 Exhibition in October 2004.

The Society of Publication Designers has been a driving force for quality and innovation in publication design for over a quarter of a century. The Society encourages artistic excellence by judging annually the work of thousands of design professionals in the U.S. and abroad.

"This award celebrates outstanding editorial design," said Lisa MacKenzie, publisher, CRN. "We are pleased that CRN's art department has been recognized as a 'visual journalist' and partner in the editorial process."
