Politiken, a prominent Danish newspaper, has recently secured 30 new awards at the European Newspaper Awards held on February 25. This annual event recognizes excellence in both printed and digital newspaper design across Europe. The awards symbolize a culmination of Politiken's sustained efforts and innovations in digital journalism over the years, reflecting the publication's commitment to high-quality design and reader engagement.

Among the awards, Politiken received a special recognition for an article titled 'Get down, get down!', which details a dramatic incident involving American photographer Jabin Botsford during a 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Despite instructions from Secret Service agents to take cover, Botsford captured some of the most iconic images of the day. This article not only showcases the gravity of the situation but also highlights the delicate balance between following orders and capturing the moment in journalism.

Johannes Skov Andersen, the head of editorial innovation at Politiken, expressed gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing the importance of innovation in journalism and the enduring impact of quality design on audience engagement. This achievement reinforces Politiken's position as a leader in the media landscape and underscores the significance of creativity and design in enhancing storytelling and news delivery.
