WHY PRINT? A MIXER AND PANEL EVENT HIGHLIGHTING THE ROLE OF PRINT IN AN DIGITAL-FIRST WORLD

  • Mother Foucault's Bookshop 715 Southeast Grand Avenue Portland, OR, 97214 United States (map)

For at least the past several years, there’s been talk of a “print revival" in media—but did print ever really go away?
We're gathering editors and designers from local independent and nonprofit publishers at @motherfoucaultsbooks for a conversation about the role of print in a digital-first world.

Join @kitchentablemag@provecho.magazine@buckmanjournal, and @oregonhumanities to discuss:

✴ Why does print persist, not only as nostalgia, but as a still-revolutionary technology for storytelling and connection?

✴ How do print magazines offer unique tools for community building?

✴ How can print media elevate stories and voices that get lost in platform and algorithm-driven media?

✴ What challenges do small independent publishers face in sustaining print media today, and what potential solutions exist?

The first half of this event will be dedicated to discussion and Q&A, and the other half will be for socializing and community building.
No RSVP needed!
