Design: World’s Best-Designed Newspapers

Society for News Design announced the World’s Best-Designed Newspapers last week. These four newspapers (and associated magazines) have been awarded:
Äripäev of Tallinn, Estonia
(Designed by Jacek Utko, you can view his portfolio at www.utko.com/);
El Economista of Madrid, Spain
(Designed by Innovation International Media Consulting Group* led by Javier Errea, and with Miguel Buckenmeyer). Interestingly, Innovation has a set-up in India, but I could not see any design work for Indian publishing houses mentioned on their site.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung of Frankfurt, Germany (Designed by www.Kircher-Burkhardt.com)and
Politiken of Copenhagen, Denmark
(Designed by Palmer Watson of www.palmerwatson.com).

Sad to note that none of the first four is designed by Mario Garcia, India’s favorite newspaper designer (His latest being MINT for Hindustan Times)!
