The Printed Blog's Interests
|
| General | 
Above is a link to our website. Please visit and let us know what you think. You can also learn more about submitting content to us here.
PHOTOGRAPHY:
The Printed Blog wants to feature our favorite photographers in the Photography section of our paper!
If you are a photographer, or you know someone who is, please visit: www.flickr.com/groups/theprintedblog/
If you have a Flickr account, feel free to join our groups and start adding your photos.
Certain photos will be chosen to be featured in each issue, as well as a featured photographer. All of the content will be accredited to you, and this is a great way to gain exposure (no pun intended) in the greater Chicago areas. | | Music | MUSIC:
The Printed Blog wants to feature musical artists in our publication.
I KNOW that many of you have great taste in music, and I want to know more about it. I will also be working with bands to obtain some quick interviews for your reading pleasure, along with what you submit.
If you would like your favorite artist(s)/track/album featured in our publication, please submit to us the following information (And remember, we want NEW things that no one has ever heard before. Give us a challenge!):
1) Name of Artist:
2) Name of Track/Album (a specific track name that you would like to be heard):
3) Link to Band (either an official website or Myspace URL):
4) Reviews (Does the artist have any blog articles or reviews written about them somewhere online, URL)?
5) Original Description (This is an original description written by you [may be edited by our staff for content] describing the band, why you want people to hear it, and the genre of music, no more than 140 characters):
6) Your (Submitter's) Name:
7) Your Location (what part of town do you live in?):
8) Where can you be found (a link to your myspace, blog, photography site, etc. of choice):
9) Photo (Optional) (A Photo of the artist, group, or album art, preferably at least 500 x 500 pixels)
All of this content is needed from YOU to complete the mission of The Printed Blog as being one of the first user-generated publications of its kind.

About me:
“Providing Local News Through Collective Intelligence”
"Where you Live, What You Think”
WHAT IS THE PRINTED BLOG?
The Printed Blog is an independent media outlet that aggregates user-generated content from the Internet and publishes it twice daily via print. The result is a revolutionary newspaper that reads and functions like a web feed – yet can still be unfolded on the train or spread across the breakfast table, for an uninterrupted, pleasurably tactile read.
The selection of content in The Printed Blog is based solely on the votes of readers and their geographic location. In such a way, The Printed Blog revolts against the top-down, ‘one size fits all’ model of newsprint, as we know it. Instead of one paper serving hundreds of thousands of people, as is often the case, THE PRINTED BLOG publishes hundreds or even thousands of highly-localized editions based on what a community declares is important to them. The papers are distributed to neighborhood pickup points in A.M. and P.M. editions, and will incorporate rapid turnaround reader input.
We at The Printed Blog believe that there will always be a readership for off-screen, printed media – but in order for that media to survive, it must leverage the best information technology has to offer. Through the integration of online social networks and web-based syndication technologies, The Printed Blog is tapping into the wellspring of brilliant bloggers that has revolutionized collective media. As our society moves towards individualized information, The Printed Blog has the courage to respect our readers. We recognize the value of what individuals have to say, and publish the information they ask for. Why rely on a handful of outmoded sources, when you know there is great content out there? We know you are writing, learning, DIGGing, and sharing – this isn’t about the newspaper, this is about you.
