Though it's not dead, it's been fairly comatose for us seasoned print production managers in search of work in the field. What I have heard from many print rep friends is that the growth is at the bottom (commodity) and and the top, where, as I like to say, "Print is Special." That's my sweet spot! You and your readers might enjoy the two impassioned articles I wrote about this topic on my blog, "Printing Disasters—and How to Avoid Them." ~ Brand Learning Styles and the Place of Print: http://tinyurl.com/ycxkgtl and ~People Crave Color and Texture, the Tangible and the Real: http://tinyurl.com/ycqgt78 I'm glad to have found your blog and looking forward to reading more. Cheers, ~Nani Hi Jim,

It's a logical extension of everything we do in the social media world really. Glad you enjoyed the post. I may actually pick up my dead tree version of USAToday tomorrow morning as I leave the hotel instead of just stepping over it ;-) Alison – Funny I’ve been sending out a lot of cards myself the past couple weeks.

And there are inherent benefits to the print medium versus computers/phones. I'm not sure I have the energy to detail those benefits right now, but I do want you to know that because of this post I am now writing a snail mail letter to a friend. It's something I think is lovely and heartfelt, but often forget to do, in favor of email or text message. Sure, email is more convenient, but that card received in the mail will sure be a lot more special. I think print is way too ubiquitous for it to ever completely die.

But then, magnetic recording tape, microfilm, vinyl records are not dead either. There is just a lot less of it than 20 years ago. I still buy food in printed packages, but I no longer am interested in the printed catalogs, newspapers, magazines or books. More importantly, my children are not either. So, it is not dead, it is not dying - it is just getting smaller as faster and new ways to communicate stories and images digitally become more popular. Print is not dead.
