World's Best-Designed Newspapers

I have always felt that web designers can benefit from studying the best examples of design in other disciplines. Newspaper design is one such example. The Society for News Design has selected four newspapers (from 351 worldwide candidates) as the "World's Best-Designed Newspapers." This creative competition judges newspapers on design excellence including typography. The judges, meeting in Syracuse, New York, selected four European newspapers as their winners. The Society for News Design website features the results and the basis for selection. This is worth the attention of web designers, as newspapers, like content rich websites, must show a mastery of layout and typography. My personal favorite among the winners is the German Frankfurter Aligemeine Sonntagszeitung for its inventive use of graphics and airy typography.
