Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

The world changed in 2020. While most were asked to slow down, the pharma industry was asked to speed up — and our publication had an obligation to keep pace. But without the ability to travel, editors found themselves reporting on the biggest story of their lives from their living rooms. Despite this, we’ve provided readers with the tools they need to deliver innovation in today’s rapidly changing pharma environment, presented in a way that is unpretentious, in a style that is uniquely ours.

In 2020, we put the final touches on a design overhaul, and our two-person editorial staff has worked tirelessly to make sure content matches design in both quality and awe. This year, we tackled the events upending the pharma industry while still delivering the content that readers rely on from our publication.

Our annual smart pharma reader survey featured in July/August gauges where the industry stands on digitalization – an area pushed to the forefront during the pandemic. The issue also took a deep dive into rumors surrounding a shortage of glass vials needed for vaccines. Our September cover story untangled the arguments around reshoring generic drug production — a move being touted as the solution to securing our drug supply. The issue also featured a discussion with a top expert detailing what it takes to develop vaccines at “warp speed.” In October, we unpacked the issues behind COVID vaccine skepticism and what pharma needs to do to restore public trust — before it’s too late.
