PrintWeek's Magazine shortlist says print is alive and kicking

Both the newspapers and magazine category saw publishers add value, improve quality and increase pagination and yet, stick to the same budget. The samples were a mixture of coated and uncoated to increase impact and embossing the cover to give a tactile look and feel while being more cost-effective than purchasing pre-textured paper.
