🥇 A #SND45 Print gold medal in Illustration: Single Illustration (News or Business) has been awarded to
@POLITICOEurope for "The road to COP28".
• @_ricardotomas_, illustrator
• @tball, art director, print
ALT "Promotional image for an award won by Politico Europe, featuring a minimalist artistic poster. The background is a solid teal color with a white and black image of a globe-like structure at the center. The globe is emitting a thick cloud of smoke from the top, creatively designed to loop back into the globe itself, suggesting a continuous cycle. The text 'Gold medal Politico Europe' is boldly displayed at the bottom in white. Additional text on the right side provides context about the project, titled 'The road to COP28,' with several small text elements including descriptive paragraphs and page numbers. The logo 'snd 45' is placed in the top left corner."

This morning, @washingtonpost published the most comprehensive account to date of the repeating pattern of destruction wrought by the AR-15. Our story w/@SilviaElenaFF, Arelis R. Hernández and team. Please take care when viewing:

Nobody but Paul could have come up with all that is packed into this week’s paper. Wish I’d had such a guide when I stepped off that airplane in Brussels eight (!!!) years ago!
Very proud to have put together a @POLITICOEurope guide to Brussels. Thanks to @tball for making it look amazing and thanks to @BMoens @SarahAnneAarup @hclae @joshposaner Giulia Polini @KetrinJochecova @EddyWax Leyla Aksu @AliWalker24 @MariEccles

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."

As someone who always has to have reruns of tv shows playing while I’m working, there’s nothing quite like that season one finale of Ted Lasso to emotionally destroy me at the start of the week.

Thrilled and humbled to again be amongst this jury… especially since this time we won’t be sequestered in a ballroom in Syracuse or Florida!
(Should I start packing?)
We’re thrilled to announce the 47 phenomenal judges coming to New York for the Best of News Design Competitions. They’re coming from seven different countries and represent a wide variety of fields within visual journalism. Get to know more about them!

This week's @POLITICOEurope front page (featuring a story you perhaps read previously online), with a killer photo-illustration by Beatrice Caciotti.
My brilliant friend, former Politico intern extraordinaire, and everything-new-journalism unicorn, @macblair_txt, made a text bot that has brought me great solace for the past several years. You should subscribe if you’re a human person who has feelings. macblairlife.com/mental-heal…

Anything from Bradley — in this case, text and photos, from that giant cold island we rarely hear about unless someone wants to buy it and turn it into a third-rate golf resort — is such a delight to work on.

I don’t know wtf I’m supposed to use this dumb app for anymore but I do know this: Jeremy Schneider is right about everything, and especially about these wings.
