A Clemson Public Service and Agriculture magazine that enhances economic development in agribusiness, South Carolina’s largest industry, won a Notable State Document award from the South Carolina State Library. The Clemson University Media Relations Department reports that Clemson Impacts, a publication that highlights Clemson research; Extension; and regulatory programs in agriculture, forestry and natural resources, was one of 10 publications and websites chosen from 25,000 state documents. The magazine has a print run of 20,000 and is distributed across the state to a subscriber list that includes home gardeners, growers, agribusiness industry leaders and stakeholders. The magazine also is distributed through Cooperative Extension Offices. Designer Charlene Mayfield and editor Tom Hallman lead a team of Clemson agriculture and science journalists in producing the free biannual publication. The winning documents were selected by judges, including State Library staff members, document librarians from around the state, and state employee representatives. The awards were presented to the winning agencies and authors on May 20 at the South Carolina State Library in Columbia. The event marked the 25th anniversary of the Library’s Notable Documents Awards program. Read more at www.clemson.edu.
