This time the winner is Diario de Noticias in Funchal, Madeira which has won 2010 'European Newspaper of the Year Award - Local Paper.'

 

Diaro de Noticias was relaunched three years ago by INNOVATION after repositioning the brand editorially and commercially and re-designing the entire paper.

 

According to the German-based jury:

 

 

"The Diario de Notícias gets its special charm through very diverse designed front pages and the section double pages:

 

The front pages are designed every day in a new way. Uniformity is not manifested, but rather new ideas through which contents are represented visually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first page of each section always opens with a double page, which creates a clear guidance for the reader. Page two and three introduce the local pages that often cover the hot topic of the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conclusion: The Diario de Notícias is between a newspaper and a magazine. This makes it an exemplary local newspaper for Europe."
