New Media Venture Turns Bloggers Into Print Journalists: The Printed Blog, a startup founded and funded by former business productivity software entrepreneur Joshua Karp, is launching a twice-daily free print newspaper in cities across the country aggregating localized blog posts.“Why hasn’t anyone tried to take the best content and bring it offline?” said Karp, who thinks print media is far from dying.
WHAT IS THE PRINTED BLOG? The Printed Blog is an independent media outlet that aggregates user-generated content from the Internet and publishes it twice daily via print. [...]
The selection of content in The Printed Blog is based solely on the votes of readers and their geographic location. In such a way, The Printed Blog revolts against the top-down, ‘one size fits all’ model of newsprint, as we know it. Instead of one paper serving hundreds of thousands of people, as is often the case, The Printed Blog publishes hundreds or even thousands of highly-localized editions based on what a community declares is important to them. The papers are distributed to neighborhood pickup points in A.M. and P.M. editions, and will incorporate rapid turnaround reader comments.
