Bloomberg Businessweek relaunched with a premium monthly print edition, aimed at deepening reader engagement. Even Ralph Nader's The Winsted Citizen is focusing on a print-first approach, trying to rebuild community connections that digital alone can't provide. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 If your organization is considering eliminating print from your fundraising toolkit, you might be going against the grain.
