October Printing Shipments Up +$259 Million; Six Consecutive Months of Increased Shipments

One has to wonder if the bulge in political printing that seemed to play an important role in this rise was actually a last gasp of large scale local political printing. The national elections of 2008 will have coattails that local and state elections will ride. The next local-only elections will be in 2010. Local Internet and all digital media will be in a quite different position at that time than they were this past November.
