Background

Since its 2008 launch, Miller-McCune has won the Utne Reader Independent Press Award 2009 for science/technology coverage and the 2008-2009 Society of Environmental Journalists Award for Outstanding Explanatory Journalism, and been named one of Library Journal's in 2009 and MIN's "Hottest Launches of 2008". [1]

The magazine was founded by Sara Miller McCune, an entrepreneur and world philanthropist, who is perhaps most recognized for her role as founder and head of SAGE Publications, one of the world’s largest independent academic publishers. In 2010, she was named to the FOLIO: 40 list of publishing innovators.

Readership and topics covered

The magazine was created for opinion leaders, policymakers, and concerned citizens who are interested in developing solutions to some of the world’s toughest social and environmental problems. Drawing from the latest scientific research and evidence, Miller-McCune is published bimonthly in print and continuously online at www.miller-mccune.com by the nonprofit Miller-McCune Center for Research, Media and Public Policy, headquartered in Santa Barbara, Calif.

In-depth pieces include stories such as Native Environmentalism and the Alberta Oil Boom, Global Warming: the Archaeological Frontier, When Facebook Is Your Medical Record as well as Art and Alzheimer’s: Another Way of Remembering, the story of Hilda Goldblatt Gorenstein (Hilgos) and the documentary I Remember Better When I Paint. [2]

Special events program

In 2010, the magazine launched Miller-McCune LIVE, a special events program to bring articles to life through comprehensive debate featuring industry leaders. The first debate--on lobbying--took place in September in Washington, D.C. The second debate--in New York City in November with panelists including Sree Sreenivasan and Rachel Sklar--dug into the effects of social media on "real life" and ways to humanize the Internet.
