Der Tagesspiegel is a 150,000-circulation daily in Berlin. The SND judges said:

An elegant, sophisticated, yet newsy German paper that presents its content using a strong but subtle hierarchy. Der Tagesspiegel’s editors and designers show the best practices in building visual narratives through excellence in the use of typography, images, color and graphics. As a result, designers offer a pleasant, page-by-page news-enriching experience that rescues the value of broadsheet newspapers.

Heads up: After you hit "post" things may be slow and you may get an error. Most likely, your comment did post. Apologies. I'm looking for a fix.

Judges say this elegance is presented ``using a strong but SUBTLE hierarchy.''

Perhaps it is better said that this newspaper's elegance is presented with NO heirarchy: most hedline sizes seem to be within 3pts of each other...i don't see any reader connectivity to this lack of navigation.

Couldn't agree with you more, Larry. Nothing dynamic at all about this layout. Looks "retro-70s weekly" to me. Can newspapers afford to be this understated (and, frankly, boring) with magazines and the internet vying for attention? Maybe it works in Europe . . .
