Birth of a newspaper made of blogs
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
The Printed Blog is a free news paper which was born in Chicago and in San Fransisco. Its biggest particularity is not its publication itself, but more the fact that it contains, on paper, contents generated on internet.
Even if we have already seen something similar before, it is the first time a newspaper, made entirely of blogs, is published.
It will be financed by local commercials and profits will be shared into bloggers. The Printed Blog has 300 bloggers as information source, and will be given out weekly and for free.
Even if, for now, it will be published only in these two cities, this newspaper yearns for being published daily and projects to launch an edition with specific contents about the most relevant cities in United States.
Interaction between lectors
On the website of this newspaper, which will be in use online theprintedblog.com, lectors will be also able to recommend blogs in order to incorporate them in syndication. Of course, the newspaper itself has a blog.
