Revival of print
The revival of print exists from independent magazines such as Pitchfork, The Intern and gentlewomen. These magazines are permanent and substantial aimed at the niche market not for the mass market. New ways of printing means that the quality of printing is at a higher level with more longer and analytical writing included. Magcutlure and magma are shops in London that sell these types of magazines. Others include resurgence of interest in political print of 60/70s, radical print, newspaper clubs.
