'Print is the new vinyl'

The Knight Foundation's John Bracken compared newspapers to records (remember those?) at a panel Thursday during the Asian American Journalists Association convention. Reaction quickly followed.

    I have no idea what this means: "Print is the new vinyl" John Bracken, Dir of digital media, Knight Foundation." You wipe it w a damp cloth?

    "Print is the new vinyl" -- does that mean I'll be lugging around hundreds of pounds of newspapers every time I move? http://bit.ly/o05WT9

  4. The hipster meme:
  5. darkuncle
    @Poynter @jsb so ... print will be found only at specialty shops, collected by hipsters who insist it's so much better than anything else?

    As a hipster and print journalist, I take offense to this. I'm just not sure why. @Poynter http://t.co/JWasdNj @printisdeadlongliveprint

    If print is the new vinyl, does that mean magazines printed on glossy paper are the new records pressed on 180-gram vinyl?

    Print is the new vinyl? So am I a DJ if I put 'Peanuts' under one hand & 'Jumble' under the other & make scratchy scratchy noises? @Poynter

    .@jsb delivers a high compliment to print. Journos don't get it. Which may be precisely the problem: http://t.co/GkAWoKZ (@anildash)
