In this month’s roundup, we’re showcasing a fresh batch of newspapers that celebrate creativity and community. See how a zine connects analogue wedding photographers from around the world, while country band Midland releases a retro-inspired memento alongside their new album. Plus more inspiring ways that newsprint brings stories to life!
Printmaker preview
This zine offers a glimpse into the vibrant work of over 65 printmakers participating in the annual Glasgow Print Fair, organised by Kaye Symington and Jane McDevitt.
"We love exploring all aspects of print with our marketing. It was great to get the artist's work into so many people's hands ahead of the fair!"
Designed by Phoebe Willison, this traditional mini was printed with sponsorship from Newspaper Club, with 2,000 copies distributed across Edinburgh and Glasgow alongside The Skinny magazine. It was a great way to generate excitement for the event while serving as a tangible keepsake for attendees.
Retro release
Country band Midland has gone old-school with a promotional newspaper to celebrate their new album, Barely Blue. The digital tabloid, designed by Harper Smith Duddy, is a nostalgic nod to country music’s roots and a playful memento for fans.
Game time
Sunday Club is a new weekly print subscription offering a screen-free way to unwind. Created by Ira Blossom, each issue is “all games, no news” with 8 pages of pencil-and-paper activities like crosswords, Sudoku and mazes.
The project will be launching on Kickstarter soon, but early reviews of the digital tabloid are already in: “I want one for every day of the week!” said one happy reader.
Broadsheet bulletin
Desert Dispatch is a playful mix of “an atlas, almanac, fanzine and bulletin board” from Wonder Valley, a California-based olive oil company. After a couple of years as a digital newsletter, founder Jay Carroll decided to translate the content into print and looked to old local newspapers for inspiration.
"It's so fun to make and people have been loving it. Long live print!"
“People are tired of the onslaught of digital marketing and this is a welcome breath of fresh air," Jay says of the traditional broadsheet. "Long live print!”
Newlywed know-how
How Not to Lose Your Mind When Wedding Planning is a no-fuss guide from wedding photographers Gina and Jack of Ivy and Pine Photography. The 48-page digital mini offers clients relaxed, practical advice on everything from posing for photos to choosing confetti (top tip: paper confetti floats longer!)
"People have said it's super informative and really shows our personalities."
The newspaper format fits Ivy and Pine’s approachable style. “Everyone has loved it so far," says Gina. "People have said it's super informative and really shows our personalities."
Local lowdown
For the first edition of Good News Paper, a new series of city guides from hotel group The Usual, the focus is on Rotterdam. Designed by W.Green Agency, this traditional tabloid features stories and hidden gems that reflect the city’s character. Guests will find a copy waiting in their room or can browse it in the hotel’s social spaces.
“We received such a wave of positive responses from the people featured and from hotel guests,” says designer Kyriaan Barrow-Blanken, who adds that a Brussels edition is coming up next.
Lens on love
Gather Around Film, a global community of analogue wedding photographers, invited members to share their favourite shots, which founders Caitlin Taylor and Margaret Wroboleski compiled into this digital mini keepsake. The result highlights the community’s diversity and artistry.
“Our members have LOVED it,” says Caitlin. “Receiving their own work by mail was thrilling and created a sense of connection even from afar.”
10 years of Arts Emergency
In honour of 10 years of breaking down barriers for young creatives, Arts Emergency created a newspaper to reflect on their decade of impact.
Designed in collaboration with Teacake Design, the traditional tabloid brings their story to life in a way that feels true to the grassroots nature of the organisation. One reader called it “literally a bundle of joy in the post!”
AI meets print
Runway’s newspaper, Pages With ____, brings their world of creative AI tech to print. Known for tools that help creators generate and edit content, Runway uses our digital minis to showcase their ideas in a hands-on format. "We love printing with Newspaper Club,” they say. “Communication is speedy and clear, and printing and shipping is incredibly quick!”
Club connections
Brooklyn tennis club Court 16 keeps its community informed and connected with their Gazette, printed on our digital tabloids. Designed by Bart Gasiorek, the newspaper promotes events and celebrates milestones, fostering a strong sense of connection among its members. Newsprint is a “classic, trusted medium of communication,” they say, and “readers have responded enthusiastically!”
