European Newspaper of the Year, Category Regional Newspaper: Het Parool, NL
Jury Statement: Het Parool konzentriert sich auf die Region Amsterdam. Darum kommen auch rein lokale Themen vor, wie der Einsturz einer Kaimauer. Daraus wird dann die Coverstory. Mit einer Infografik wird gezeigt, wie man solche Schäden verhindern könnte und was vergleichare Städte unternehmen. Es ist eine Rundum-Berichterstattung, die nicht nur das Problem aufzeigt, sondern auch die mögliche Lösung. Het Parool setzt außerdem einen Schwerpunkt in Richtung Kultur. Samstags gibt es diese Ressorts: News, Amsterdam, Sport, Frei, Voraus, Kunst, Musik, Medien, Bücher, Geschichte, Wissenschaft. An anderen Wochentagen ist die Beilage PS ein Spielfeld kreativer Themen. Neben einem aufgelockerten Layout hat jeder Artikel liebevoll gestaltete Details: Kleine Infografiken, Faktenboxen, Zitate und nicht zuletzt Fotos der Autoren. Insgesamt: Eine vorbildlich gemachte Regionalzeitung, die genau auf ihre Zielgruppe abgestimmt ist.
Jury statement: Het Parool focuses on the Amsterdam region. This is why purely local themes are also present, such as the collapse of a quay wall. This then becomes the cover story. An information graphic shows how such damage could be prevented and what comparable cities are doing. It is an all-round report that not only shows the problem but also the possible solution. Het Parool also focuses on culture. On Saturdays there are these sections: News, Amsterdam, Sport, Free, Forward, Art, Music, Media, Books, History, Science. On other days of the week the supplement PS is a playground for creative topics. In addition to a relaxed layout, each article has lovingly designed details: small infographics, fact boxes, quotes and last but not least photos of the authors. All in all: an exemplary regional newspaper that is precisely tailored to its target group.

European Newspaper of the Year, nationwide newspaper European Newspaper of the Year, Kategorie überregionale Zeitung: de Volkskrant, NL
European Newspaper of the Year, Category Nationwide Newspaper: de Volkskrant, NL
Jury Statement: Bei de Volkskrant setzt man auf visuellen Journalismus, der konsequent in Print und Online eingesetzt wird. Die Titelseite werden die Themen des Tages visuell präsentiert. Im Innern findet man ein Zeitschriften-Layout mit viel Weißraum. Die Themensetzung wird wie bei allen Medien auch bei dieser Zeitung durch das Tagesgeschehen geprägt. Aber de Volkskrant bevorzugt sowohl in Print als auch Online die kreative Idee, die andere Herangehensweise an ein Thema. Dabei werden oft Aspekte herausgegriffen, die andere Medien so nicht haben. Beispielsweise wurde weltweit Pflegepersonal mit Masken gezeigt. Bei de Volkskrant werden die Menschen ohne Masken gezeigt, um die Gesichter sprechen zu lassen. Man hat damit einen anderen Zugang zum Thema gefunden. Gratulation an das großartige Team aus Journalisten, Fotografen, Designern und Online-Spezialisten, das jeden Tag eine so beispielhaft kreative Zeitung macht!
Jury statement: de Volkskrant focuses on visual journalism, which is consistently used in print and online. The front page visually presents the topics of the day. Inside you will find a magazine layout with a lot of white space. As with all media, the topics of this newspaper are influenced by the news of the day. But de Volkskrant prefers the creative idea, the different approach to a topic, both in print and online. Often aspects are picked out that other media do not have in this way. For example, nursing staff wearing masks was shown worldwide. At de Volkskrant people are shown without masks to let the faces speak. One has thus found a different approach to the topic. Congratulations to the great team of journalists, photographers, designers and online specialists who make such an exemplary creative newspaper every day!
