Revenge Of Print 2011


RevengeOfPrint2011, originally uploaded by sugarfreak.

We're tired of all the END OF PAPER, the END OF PUBLISHING AS WE KNOW IT stories. We've been hearing and reading about it ever since we've been open (which is going on almost 20 years now).

So for 2011, we've decided to throw a challenge out there. If you've ever made a zine or mini comic MAKE ONE MORE ISSUE. Come on, you've got one more in you! Maybe you were thinking in the back of your head you'd do another issue one day. Now is the time.

Join the group for discussion and more plans. This is just the beginning.

Sponsored by us and our friends at Quimby's.

Over at Paracinema Magazine, we just printed our 10th issue. And while things for us have never been easy, we VOW to print for as long as humanly possible! Long live print media!
I wholeheartedly support this cause :)

Was never really happy with how things ended at Exploitation Retrospect. Will definitely take this opportunity to dust it off...

Hi and thank you. I'm all in, and live for print media. I manage an independent weekly newspaper that has been in publication for over 30 years. We are growing both revenues and circulation as readers continue to demand SUBSTANCE and MEANING and CONTEXT. Print is not dying! The filtering of journalism and the depth of story telling has never been more needed as it is in the digital age. The future of print is independent and revolutionary.

Is it OK to use the logo in a zine? Just, you know, spreading the word.

Atomic Reading Club 2024: The End

Image
  We thought 2024 might be an appropriate year to explore the way things end. Careers, relationships, our emotional state, the world. All things end. Maybe even American democracy. But on the bright side, often the end of one thing is the beginning of something new. We're not sure how we'll be feeling by this time in 2025, so let's get ahead of things and look at The End.
