While most people don't think of printing their own newspaper, it should be noted that newsprint, a simple ideal invented well over a century ago, is STILL the most inexpensive printed media in the world. No other paper is cheaper, period, and there are companies in the newsprint world who are re-defining how to use newsprintand that's a great advantage to those who not only already print newsletters, but to those that want to print postcards, brochures and, yes, even books of a sort, or a way of publishing ones own writings, or even opinions, without spending a fortune.
In fact, publishing a short-run newspaper is actually CHEAPER than printing a newsletter, or something similar on regular paper, and also contains more room. It also, in ways a normal paper does not, lends itself as well to self-promote, or sell advertising within its content, much more easily than other printed types.
While newsprint doesn't have the bold, crystal clear images that other forms of printing have, it still presents itself as a professional model, and clearly recognized as a credible format. If fact, newspapers, even as they decline in the form of a daily, is still the most trusted media on earthmore than the Internet, radio and televisionCOMBINED.
There are companies (such as www.makemynewspaper.com), who even have the tools to help you publish short-runs, from templates and design programs, to even national syndications and tips and suggestions to help you along the way to publish your own newspaper at dramatically reduced prices.
People still want to read, it's just they want a very focused interest in what they read. And many of us would love to have something personal, something to hand out that's exclusively our own, something we created, to our family, friends and even those we don't know as we share our thoughts, visions or ideals.
A self-published newspaper is a great, inexpensive way to do this.
