Print Media

Print media encompasses all written printing and distribution of news through newspapers, magazines and other hard copies.  Although online communications have grown in popularity, print media remains extremely important.  First, many people still receive the majority of their news information in the printed form.  More importantly, however, most print media is subsequently turned into online news and resources.  For these reasons, it is important for coalitions to employ both print and online methods for advocating for their causes.
