The judges wrote:
After being named a World’s Best-Designed™ Newspaper winner last year (2012), it would be very easy for any publication to become complacent or stale, but Politiken has managed to elevate its great work, and indeed, build on it.
Politiken’s efforts have become a defined classic in the industry, but the designers and editors somehow manage to renew their energy every day. This is a newspaper that has reached visual maturity but still has promise for more to come (we hope).
Overall, Politiken’s content drives the visuals — so the visuals could literally be anything. They have the tools to execute that wide variety of content and tone. Through a combination of their efforts, structure and discipline, they take a medium format daily and make it warmer and more intimate – almost like a really large compact. The quality is so rich that Politiken could be a weekly, but the staff is executing at that high a level on a daily basis.
There is a thoughtfulness to the cropping and editing of photographs with designers using full width of pages for impact. Oftentimes, we turned pages to find an unexpected and delightful grouping of photographs or illustrations, as seen in a story about a young entrepreneur who had to restart a career after an illness.
Politiken is a model for the power of visual consistency throughout a newspaper. A previous winner in this category, Politiken again deservedly joins the ranks of World’s Best.
