On January 27, 2009, "The Printed Blog", a free printed newspaper consisting exclusively of blog content and other amateur journalistic content, will be launched in the USA. The project is currently still in a test phase. The free newspaper will initially be published weekly in Chicago and San Francisco, Joshua Karp, founder and publisher of "The Printed Blog", told the New York Times. Karp is convinced that the project will fundamentally change the way people consume news and other information.
The free newspaper hopes that the lively participation of the advertising community will give it an economic advantage over conventional daily newspapers, which have to spend a significant proportion of their budget on staff and research.
