Newspapers - Moscow, Portugal, Frankfurt

Hrant H Papazian

Of the four newspapers that won this year’s Society for News Design award, I’ve only managed to find a copy of one (The Guardian) and I’m hoping for help from the kind font freaks of the world. The three in question are:

Akzia (Moscow)
Expresso (Paco de Arcos, Portugal)
Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung

The last one isn’t very exotic (unless “Sonntagszeitung” means something strange - perhaps just “Sunday edition”?) but Newseum.org hasn’t shown front pages from any of them since I started looking (and they’re also very lousy at returning emails and phone calls).

Of course I would be more than happy to barter something of -supposed- value with anybody willing/able to mail me an issue of one of those three.

Perhaps someone else will have unfettered access to it, but I do have access to Expresso through the Yale University Library’s newspaper room. I could almost certainly make some scans of an issue if that would be helpful, and I could see about whether I could acquire an old issue. I wouldn’t be able to do that for at least a week, though, but let me know if nothing else materializes.

EDIT: And, yes, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung is the Sunday edition AFAIK, looking significantly different (less conservative) from the other days.
