Physical & OnLine Media Advantages

Jeff Jarvis, writing about Prince’s distribution of his new CD inside the London’s Sunday Mail says:
“it exploits the one last advantage of printing a paper on atoms and delivering them: distribution”
That’s not totally true. Each media type has several unique characteristics which can be used independently or in conjunction with online presence to extend the online [...]
