At the European Newspaper Congress in Vienna on Monday evening, Europe's Newspaper Makers of the Year were honored. According to the jury, the best national newspaper is the Athens newspaper Elefteros Tipos. This year's winner in the weekly newspaper category is Welt am Sonntag from Berlin. The award for the best local newspaper goes to The Mayo News in Westport, Ireland. Finally, the best regional newspaper is El Periódico de Catalunya in Barcelona. From Switzerland, the St. Galler Tagblatt and the Basler Zeitung won awards for the design of individual pages, with the Baz taking home several honors. A total of 288 newspapers from 26 countries competed for the awards. The jury noted a clear trend towards the tabloid format, with "magazine-style newspapers" also in vogue - so the Swiss media house Ringier does not seem to be alone in this recipe.
The European Newspaper Congress is being held in Vienna for the fifth time this year. More than 500 editors-in-chief and executives from publishing houses will gather information about the European newspaper landscape. According to the organizers, interest from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe has increased significantly. On Tuesday, the last day of the congress, reporting on the Olympic Games in China and the Tibet issue in particular will also be on the agenda.
