Someone said to us the other day: "You do know print media is dead, don't you?"
In a word, no.
Exhibit A, to balance the flood of doom and gloom print media stories: A scheduled global gathering of print media advocates in Spain next month for the World Association of Newspapers conference on Power of Print.
A WAN news story says "Those who advocate the abandonment of print for a digital-only world might want to look at the roster of speakers assembled by the World Association of Newspapers" for the Barcelona conference May 27 and 28.
The story says "WAN is bringing together leading industry figures who are proving that publishing success comes from developing the print side, not abandoning it."

Since when did this matter? The brakes are off. Just because something might be a better product, doesn't mean there isn't a race to the digital bottom.
