News website goes into print

An online, non-profit news outlet, the San Francisco Public Press , yesterday went "backwards" by publishing a print edition. The 28-page paper will sell on newsstands for $2 (£1.35) a copy. It is expected to be a quarterly, though it's really an experiment to test the market. Michael Stoll , the outlet's executive director, says that if the demand is there, he would eventually like to print daily. And SFPP's director of operations, Lila LaHood , said the print version is an important way to "bridge the digital divide" and reach under-served populations. She added: "If print newspapers disappear, we're limiting access to news for a lot of people in San Francisco." Source: San Francisco Chronicle / SF Public Press
