Print and Viral Combine

This article http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/16/a-print-focus-on-social-media/?scp=3&sq=social%20media&st=cse

talks about how print newspapers are beginning to help business by focusing on Social Media outlets Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc.

These publications are unique, I think, because they combine the more traditional print method of news and the more contemporary viral news media in an effort to help local business owners be more successful.

People helping people...an interesting combination and an unusual idea in this time.

  1. I think this is a good way to help people making the transition into using social media with something they are familiar with.

  2. Glamour magazines are filled with qr codes. They even have their own app that will automatically enter you into their contests when you snap a picture of these certain symbols throughout the entire magazine.

  3. This is why I think newspapers are not a dying breed. Most of them (a perfect example is the NY times) have adapted and are using social media to their advantage.
