Therapy Times Honored with “Best Digital Publication”

May 18, 2010 - PRLog -- NORRISTOWN, PA  – Therapy Times, the only all-inclusive online magazine for therapeutic professionals in the healthcare industry, announces that it has been honored with the American Society of Healthcare Publication Editors’ (ASHPE) Silver Award for “Best Digital Publication.”

The ASHPE Awards recognize outstanding editorial excellence and achievement in healthcare publishing and is among the most prestigious in the sector.

As today’s publishing field continues to change to meet the needs of an increasingly digital (and paperless) audience, Therapy Times has created a more visible and accessible magazine: a digital publication that is portable, multimedia-accessible, interactive, searchable, and leverages the benefits of a composed page.

“This award is both a testament to my team’s efforts to provide an engaging publication for our readers, as well as the ability of Therapy Times to stay ahead of the publishing curve,” says Bob Stott, Senior Editor for Therapy Times.

He adds, “Unlike many print magazines which are moving to completely online formats, Therapy Times has taken the best of both the print and online mediums and created a flexible venue that can deliver information to our readers faster, can be archived and retrieved for future reference, and can accommodate the latest in our readers’ viewing preferences.”

Digital magazines have also enabled Therapy Times readers to be more productive and to easily connect with advertisers through linked URLs, e-mail addresses, and page jumps, making each issue into an efficient personal portal. Readers are also able to access multimedia files and uploaded videos attached to particular editorial features for a more interactive experience.

In addition to their award-winning digital publication, Therapy Times also features daily coverage of research and experts in the field, career development tools, Web-based blogs, and interactive online communities where therapists can network with colleagues.

“We are honored to once again be recognized by such a highly acclaimed institution as the ASHPE,” says Therapy Times Publisher Heather Brennan Koitzsch, RD. “Their recognition of excellence demonstrates our commitment to provide the editorial content therapists need to be successful – both in their careers and their daily lives.”
