''The Printed Blog'' is a print magazine composed entirely of blogs and other aggregated online content that operates out of its offices in Chicago. Published monthly,〔 It offers a wide range of content from the web, chosen by a team of staff and guest editors active in the fields of blogging and photography. If it’s on the internet, you can find it in ''The Printed Blog'' which means that content ranges from music, to sex, to politics, to humanitarian issues, to pop culture commentary, to anything in between. “Too much of the world is created for the lowest common denominator, and frankly, I’m tired of homogenized, dumbed down content, that I’m expected to enjoy because it was written to appeal to the masses. ''The Printed Blog'' is not for the lowest common denominator. If you’re not impacted by our content — by a blog post or photograph — then we haven’t done our jobs. If we don’t lose a few subscribers each time we release an issue, it means that we were gutless and lazy.” == History == Founder Joshua Karp, a management consultant and entrepreneur, conceived ''The Printed Blog'' as a model for his vision of the future of print. Despite the common mentality that print was on its way out, Karp believed in his model enough to Initially fund the printing of the magazine personally. Working with interns to gather and assemble the content, Karp pressed on with the hope that the unique publication would soon attract enough advertising revenue or venture capitalist funding to continue. Speaking of his inspiration, Karp said “I think there are principles in the online world that work really well and can be applied to the offline world. If we look at a newspaper from the early 20th century compared to one published yesterday they look largely the same. One size fits all, quarter page ads, the half page ads are really expensive. The content is selected by a bunch of editors and journalists that cover beats. Their model hasn't changed, and my position is that the print newspaper doesn't need to go away simply because it's on paper. The problem with the print newspaper business...() that nobody has taken a hard look () how newspapers are pulled together and laid out and published, and how the power of community tools that we have now can enhance this.”〔 ''The Printed Blog'' has gone through two incarnations since its initial conception. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Printed Blog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
