About PrintingBeat

An independent news site covering the whole US print industry, filed by market, technology and business topic.

What this is

PrintingBeat is an independent news site for the whole US print industry. Every story is filed three ways: one market (who buys the print), any number of technologies (how it is printed or decorated) and any number of business topics (what kind of news it is).

How stories are written

Stories are written in our own words from public reporting, press releases and public records, and credit their sources. We do not copy sentences, we do not invent quotes, and anything we cannot verify stays out of the story.

Languages

Stories are written in English and translated into Spanish and Chinese. Where the versions differ, the English version governs.

Byline

Stories carry the byline "By PrintingBeat" unless an editor signs their own name.
