All on Paper (old news?)

In a stunning and, if I may say, terribly interesting move College journalists from Florida Atlantic University have produced an entire issue of their newspaper the 'old fashioned' way.

The whole thing has a very Don Drapper/Mad Men feel to it, which is  a Good Thing.

They typed on typewriters, took photos on film (which they developed in house), cut and pasted with scissors and glue, and made plates by hand.

I can't tell if they are crazy or brilliant. I want to try it. (Hit the link for the full story.)

Be sure to read through the comments for some interesting and useful contributions. (Like this gem, the same thing as it was done 'back in the day.')
