Taking a (news)Stand


As a magazine journalism major, I'm in favor of anything that helps the magazine industry survive. Working for a paper company, I kinda wish it didn't involve eReaders.

The website is devoted to showcasing great menu design; an end use of paper that probably won't go digital any time soon ... or will it?
