I'm surprised a USA paper made it this year. Not surprised at Die Ziet. They win every year. I was hoping the Columbus Dispatch or Tampa Tribune would be up there. They're my current faves and I thought they both had great years.

With the exception of Marca, the judges appear to have gone with "stately" this year, and the Courant sure fills that bill. Of course, I'm just looking at one front per paper. Maybe when we see some inside pages we'll see some boldness.

I was more inspired by last year's selections, which included two or three small- to medium-size papers.

P.S.: Can't we just give Die Zeit a lifetime achievement award already? :-)

Jim, "stately" is a great word for these choices, I think. I've looked closely at a few of them (Courant, Svenska Dagbladet, Der Tagesspiegel) and they are all refined, elegant and bold.

Last year's winners were indeed a bit more eclectic. I'm kind of shocked there wasn't a Best of Show awarded, though.

Considering the design buzz it generated in the U.S. last year, I'm curious how well Red Eye did in the judging.

If there are two things Germans love, it's good design and David Hasselhoff.

I'm told that the database of winners will be online in an estimated 2-3 weeks. But they have a lot of things to do before they can get that list ready - so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a little longer.

"Stately" is what you call a yankee with his/her hair down.

After I posted this, I found that Mims had it covered already.

I'll re-post here and delete my previous post.

SportsDesigner blogger Rich Boudet points out that SND already has posted its list of winners of this year's World's Best-Designed Newspapers.

The only U.S. winner this year: The Hartford Courant (Circulation: 250,000)

About the Courant, the judges write:

Quote:

This paper is a standout in the American newspaper market. The Hartford Courant distinguishes itself with an enduring elegance in design and typography. Though conservative in their approach, designers engage readers with the bold use of visuals. The contrast between their quiet, understated style and the gutsy photography and illustrations create a tension that captures the attention of readers.

The other winners:

Die Zeit, Hamburg, Germany (Circulation: 450,000)

Svenska Dagbladet, Stockholm, Sweden (Circulation: 189,000)

Der Tagesspiegel, Berlin, Germany (Circulation: 150,000)

Marca, Madrid, Spain (Circulation: 386,413)
