Comments on: Death of Periodical Overlooked in Print’s Obituary http://www.commansentence.com/death-of-periodical-overlooked-in-prints-obituary/ Creativity, New Media, and Stories Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:14:27 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jennifer Deseo http://www.commansentence.com/death-of-periodical-overlooked-in-prints-obituary/comment-page-1/#comment-6292 Jennifer Deseo Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:42:43 +0000 http://www.commansentence.com/?p=2705#comment-6292 Print has a way of connecting readers with events on a very personal level. Last week, people in New Orleans lined up for hours to get a copy of the Times-Picayune announcing the Saints' trip to the Super Bowl. Similarly, people went nuts for The Washington Post's print coverage of the Obama inauguration. The tactile makes news tangible, real and lasting. It's why people keep 30-year-old copies of National Geographic lying around, and it's why print will never go away. Print has a way of connecting readers with events on a very personal level.
