Louis Rossetto and Jane Metcalfe won a lifetime achievement award for starting WIRED magazine. Since it launched in 1993, WIRED has become the publication that “makes sense of a transforming world,” according to the Webby’s. WIRED has become an authoritative magazine that examines the intersection technology, culture, politics and the economy.

The magazine itself has had a massive impact on popular culture, coining now commonly-used terms like longtail and crowdsourcing.
