Betting on print media to make a comeback. It won’t be glossy magazines, maybe it will be an evolution of zines at scale, or something else. Not niche like Monocle or trendy fashion magazine fare. Something halfway mass and meaningful.

Physical and tangible and analog matters again, partially (mostly?) as a pendulum swing reaction against smartphone dependence and the negative externalities of digital lifestyles.

Digital media has become ephemera. Corporations can decide that entire archives can be vaporized (MTV News), and consequential and meaningful revolutions in news media can be mismanaged to the ground (VICE, whose archive is also in jeopardy of being deleted at some point) as if they never existed. Meanwhile Millennials can still fine issues of Sports Illustrated, TIME, National Geographic, Playboy etc etc in the homes of their parents.

Vinyl sales are up, film cameras and Y2K era digital camera sales are up, refurbished old iPod sales are up, cassette tape production is being revived…

nah @StarbucksUK you should be ashamed of yourselves. In this big cost of living crisis we’re in you’re just throwing away food with complete disregard, literally right outside your own stores too. there’s local food banks and apps like @TooGoodToGo_UK to help prevent food waste
