Congratulations to The Guardianfor being voted one of the best designed newspapers in the world ... for the second year running. The Society of News Design judges started with 215 papers from around the globe andwhittled them down to 58, 17 and then earlier this month selected the final four. The judges said of The Guardian: 'It sets a standard for the industry in just about every discipline for a print publication.' These were the topfour:
The Guardian (Britain)
Dagens Nyheter (Sweden)
De Morgen (Belgium)
Politiken (Denmark)
The Guardian and Dagens Nyheter were both in the top five last year too. Before last year, no British newspaper had reached the top places since 2007. It’s a great accolade for the paper and, with no North American papers making the cut, for European designers generally. I looked at the final 17 in a previous post hereand the SND report on the awards is here.
