Two articles, two different locations, indicate a return to paper (long print news & paper fliers)

"In a digital age of 24-hour rolling news, newspapers worldwide are investing resources in their online editions. But a US publisher has gone back in time by launching a print-only broadsheet in the style of a 19th-century newspaper.

Called County Highway, it is responding to a demand from readers for in-depth stories and writing that needs time to savour. It will not have an internet edition.

Focusing primarily on the US and publishing every two months, it has a format partly inspired by Charles Dickens and other 19th-century authors whose stories were serialised in journals. It will include serialised books from its own new publishing house – an independent company that is taking on the conglomerates that dominate the industry.

“People read differently on the printed page than they do on a screen,” said the newspaper’s editor, David Samuels. “The printed page is an immersive experience without constant distractions or the spectre of other people’s responses on social media. It’s a much more enriching and human experience.”

"Billy Markowitz knows there aren’t many people into “cardistry,” the art of shuffling, tossing, and manipulating playing cards in impressive ways.
 
But if you’re searching for fellow fans of the niche hobby, targeting the throngs of college kids, artists, and creatives who pass through Cambridge and Somerville daily is a good place to start.

So when it came time to promote his new monthly “cardistry” meetups, that’s where he headed.

And he knew just how to get their attention: paper fliers."

Consider contributing to The Zhou Family Fund

"Our beloved friend, Henry (Heng) Zhou, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in April, which has since spread to his liver, despite chemotherapy. The prognosis is grim. This devastating news turned his and his family's lives upside down overnight. As a dedicated field service engineer in the medical device field, Heng has been the sole provider for his devoted wife, and a 14-year-old son, and a 12-year-old daughter. While undergoing chemotherapy, Heng received yet another devastating news: his employer, a medical device startup company, abruptly folded in September. Suddenly, they not only lost their only source of income, but also medical insurance, disability insurance, and life insurance. Zhou's family is now facing extreme stress and financial hardship, not to mention uncertainty of financial security for his family in the future.

No one should have to face this alone. We are extremely grateful for any assistance individuals or organizations may be able to provide. Your contribution, no matter the size, will have a lasting impact, offering hope and strength for us all.

All the funds received will be used to cover medical expenses, their modest living expenses, and towards education of his school-age children. Please keep the Zhou family in your thoughts and prayers, and help spread the word. Thank you in advance for your kind generosity."
