MIDDLE EAST GOOD NEWS:
THE NATIONAL FROM UAE IN THE TOP 10 WINNER!

The sun is setting, the clouds moving in and temperatures dropping outside of Drumlins. The Best of Newspaper Design™ judging is also winding down. The judges continue to make good progress today with more than 9,000 entries judged at this point. The top winners (by number of awards) so far in the competition, in no particular order are Clarin, The St. Petersburg Times, The National, the Boston Globe, The New York Times, the National Post, the Los Angeles Times, La Presse, The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer and Zaman. Join us on Monday for the final day of the general competition. We’ll be back at about 10 a.m. (EDT).

The National, the new English language newspaper published in Abu Dhabi that launched in 2008, was being seen on judging tables for the first time in Syracuse. Consultant Lucie Lacava worked on the project. The SND International Web Desk gathered some pages in this quick slideshow so more people can check out the paper, but a word of caution: We don’t know if any of these pages won awards. We just thought it was nice to see a new newspaper.
