In the latest episode of print's podcast, It's Been A Big Month in Print, industry insiders Wayne Robinson and Lindy Hughson analyse, assess, and interpret the major news, trends, issues and developments from June.

We start off by reviewing the decline of printed newspapers, with Rupert Murdoch, owner of Australian, UK and US newspapers, predicting that they will all be history in 15 years. We look at the implications of Meta’s withdrawal of $200m in yearly funding from Australian newspaper publishers, on both metro and regional areas. Following this, we assess the impact of the end of printed newspapers on rest of the print industry.

We then look at the Access Print Solutions story, with the three business company going into VA and then being bought by the directors three weeks later. Sustainable printing developments are coming thick and fast, we discuss three of the latest as print bolsters its claim to be the most eco-friendly communication channel.

We wrap up by getting with overview of the Visual Impact trade show, the continued growth and investment into sign and display equipment by ANZ business, and finally, we celebrate the impact of leaders in the trade associations who are now stepping back.
