Why Print?
For the past several years, there’s been talk of a “print revival”—but did print ever really go away? Join local independent and nonprofit Portland publishers for a conversation about the role of print in a digital-first world. A group of editors and designers from local publications will discuss print’s unique ability to build community, elevate stories overlooked by platform and algorithm-driven media, and support a wide array of voices. The event will also consider challenges and potential solutions for keeping print publishing viable for local creators today. We'll come away with a deeper sense of why print persists not only as nostalgia, but as a still-revolutionary technology for imaginative and deeply human storytelling. 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.
