WHY PRINT HERITAGE
MATTERS
THE IRREPLACEABLE WITNESS WHY PRINT HERITAGE IS THE WORLD'S FIRST DRAFT.
NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS ARE THE ONLY MEDIUM THAT NARRATE THE STORIES OF THEIR TIME AND PEOPLE. THEY RECORDED THE OUTBREAK OF WARS BEFORE TELEGRAMS REACHED GENERALS, THE DEATHS OF KINGS BEFORE COURIERS REACHED PROVINCES, AND THE BIRTH OF NATIONS BEFORE CONSTITUTIONS WERE RATIFIED. CIPHM PUTS EMPHASIS THAT PRINT IS NOT MERELY PAPER AND INK. IT IS MEMORY CRYSTALLISED.
