Print stories from around the world 9 Feb 2016

Thursday, February 04, 2016.  Print articles worldwide from 9 February 2016.  Intro for this section here http://dpnlive.com/index.php/news/general-news/editorial/3152-trial-of-new-section-showing-international-print-news

And it’s ideal for shorter-run, specialized editions, such as foreign-language publications serving large metro areas.

    7 February 2016. I am a print romantic. I’ve always loved the elegant weight of a hardback book, magazines, and yes, the post.
