KUDOS: With a wave of recent awards and nominations, The Nation continues to earn praise for its reporting and criticism in 2007. Books & Arts contributor William Deresiewicz was honored with a National Magazine Award nomination for Reviews and Criticism, recognizing "the knowledge, persuasiveness and original voice that the critic brings to his or her reviews." Deresiewicz earned the nod for his reviews of books by Michael Chabon, Nathan Englander, Clive James and Junot Díaz.

Reporter Joshua Kors received wide acclaim for his investigation into a pattern of benefit denials by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Kors won an Investigative Reporters and Editors Magazine Certificate for "outstanding investigative work" and was nominated for a National Magazine Award in Public Interest for his reporting. In early March Kors won the National Headliner Award for coverage of a major news event, and he is a finalist for the Michael Kelly Award, given in honor of the Atlantic editor killed in Iraq in 2003.

Washington correspondent John Nichols was given the Milt Hakel Award by the National Farmers Union for his commitment to farming and trade reform. Farmers Union president Tom Buis praised Nichols for reporting that "gives readers a balanced portrayal of the complex issues affecting rural America."
