The Future of News: Not So Bleak, Not So R. What’s the future of news? I’m tempted to say “not very much” since no one really knows too much about the future of news right now. You know this is true because senior news folk have given up on the doom and gloom stuff and are starting to talk about “the golden age of journalism” and how it’s a “bright dawn” and that sort of thing. This would make sense if there had been any structural change in the economics of news, but there hasn’t; so their optimism has the hollow twang of hope over reason.
Still, the optimists have got it half right. But, in these turbulent times, as I earnestly make my way from one news conference to another, a few things are starting to become clear. Even if pay walls provide a secure financial future for news organizations — which right now seems unlikely — they will reduce the pool of shared information, and cut those news organizations’ content off from the openness, sharing and linking that characterizes the web.

Embossing paper produces either a raised or a lowered surface, with the latter referred to as impressing or, in some circles, “debossing”. Print work with embossing creates a unique and tactile design that embodies a subtle but memorable element that ensures that you’ll make an impression.
The embossing process is done by a letterpress—a printing machine with raised plates that is covered with ink and pressed onto paper. The letterpress methodology dates back to the 15th century. Press hard enough and it will produce a depression on the paper. In this showcase, we highlight some great examples of impressed print designs for your inspiration, printed by some of the best letterpress shops.
