In reality, European papers tend to be more notable and award-winning than the American counterparts.
European news design differs greatly, though. Language difference aside, it is easily tell spot an international edition.
For the most part, papers outside of the United States are still boasting larger page sizes and wider margins. Perhaps these publications are not hurting as badly financially as our are. Or perhaps their funding method is stronger. Either way, these publications have more room to work with, and it shows.
European publications also seem to be able to get away with more, from nudity to profanity. Violence seems to be more censored but not sex.
The pages are big and bold and full of strong content.
Here are some highlights of award-winning page design, according to Smashing Magazine:
De Morgen (The Morning) - A Flemish paper
Äripäev - an Estonian paper
Le Monde (The World) - A French paper
