“RR Donnelley: Where Print Still Fits” was the headline in a recent online “Business Week” article by J. Duncan Moore. The article begins, “If the future of print media is dim, the outlook for the companies that actually press ink onto paper must be even darker. Newspapers are collapsing, magazines are losing advertisers, direct mail has morphed into spam, and even books may be threatened by portable electronic readers. Short-term trends—namely the economy’s skid—only add to the sense of doom.”
