'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?

    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)
