Extra, extra, read all about it! With pictures! On paper! With ink!
The Newspaper Club is the one club I would join today.
Today I’ve learned that Newspaper Club, the Glasgow-based printing company that allows anyone to print their own publications, has launched The Printing Press, its own self-published newspaper. And I’m thus publishing a hot-off-the-screen post to spread the word.
“The Printing Press is a tabloid-style publication exploring how brands, designers and artists are rethinking what a newspaper can be,” says Kate Symington, CMO. “It features conversations with Papier’s Head of Brand on storytelling through print, Cubitts’ in-house designer on crafting the perfect newspaper and typographer Tré Seals of Vocal Type on turning a museum exhibition into a broadsheet.”
The Club is also turning newsprint into a lavish campaign. Billboards have gone up around the U.K. featuring Newspaper Club customers. In London, Newspaper Club has partnered with News & Coffee to take over the Holborn Station kiosk for two weeks, offering free copies of The Printing Press—and free coffee to the first 20 people who pick up the newspaper each weekday through June 17.
Rumors of print’s demise have yet again been off the mark (and were possibly started by a jealous AI). So, for your tabloid extras, join the club that will even gladly have me as a member.
