Print editions are important because not everyone spends their time sitting in front of a computer to get their news—like I do. Not only is it nice to read the actual paper but it also serves a purpose. So, stop all your romanticizing.
The San Francisco Public Press has about 14 days left on their Kickstarter Campaign to get funding for their Pedal-Powered News. Here’s what they are going for:
So we’re going back to basics. We’ll use cargo bikes to deliver the Public Press’ beautiful quarterly ad-free broadsheet newspaper to dozens of retailers who sell it, and to scores of community centers where we give copies away for free. We’ll also bike-deliver papers to the homes of hundreds of member donors and subscribers.
