Land Line Magazine was among the international automotive media elite recognized at the International Automotive Media Conference (IAMC) awards Nov. 12 in New York City. OOIDA's official business publication was awarded three bronze medallions in the categories of travel writing, investigative reporting and single art.

The Bronze Medallion of Excellence in the category of travel was awarded for "Side-trips, Layovers and Roadside Attractions" by Feature Editor Rene Tankersley. The award in the investigative reporting category was for "Easy Money?" also by Tankersley

The Bronze Medallion of Excellence in the category of single art color was awarded for a cartoon created by Santiago Cornejo to accompany "California Proposes Secret Weapon to Halt Trucks," an article written by staff writer Keith Goble.

One of the purposes of the IAMC is to recognize and encourage excellence in all forms of automotive media. The competition attracts entries from the nation's major newspapers, trucking publications and top international performers such as Motor Trend, Automobile Magazine, Cars & Parts, Car and Driver, Land Rover Journal and more.
