Printing Leaks Need Addressing — Cagle

Hey, what is it with seniors impacting print, anyway?

The PIA/GATF hopes, and I agree, that there’s a happy medium to be found. Without a doubt, voting is something that can be done electronically. But do annual reports belong on hard copy? Probably.

The financial portion of an annual report can be scalable via your browser. But the “glamor” portion, the front matter, contains the message that companies are trying to convey, and surely it would get lost on the electronic frontier. Would shareholders, analysts and other interested parties bother to read the “message to shareholders” on screen, or make their own printouts? Or would they say, “to hell with it,” and close the PDF?
