The Printed Blog will no longer be printed
Posted by Simon Crisp | Filed under Journalism
It lasted longer than many thought it would, but it looks like the Printed Blog is no more.. after just 16 issues.
The idea was that the freesheet – which brought together the best of the web – and would be distributed at major urban locations across America with local advertising spots being sold in each region.
When the project began in January The Printed Blog was only handed out in Chicago but that soon grew to include cities like New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Despite being backed by founder Joshua Karp (and several credit cards) he says they were unable to reach the next stage of development.
Speaking on blog.printedblog he said: “16 issues, 80,000 print copies distributed, another 100,000 or so copies downloaded, and countless new friends, fans, and collaborators all around the world later, I may still be nuts, but I have zero regrets.”
Disclosure: Despise claims from The Printed Blog that that brought together the best of the web they also included a number of my articles.
