Digital and Analog Worlds Unite in New Magazine

Even in the era of “there’s an app for that,” our largely tech-first culture is reclaiming timeless analog elements. Today the Paper & Packaging – How Life Unfolds® campaign unveils a new limited-edition print publication, Pod Papers Magazine, bringing podcasts to life in a way that has never been done before – in print. Complimentary copies of Pod Papers will be available exclusively in store at Barnes & Noble locations nationwide while supplies last.

“Our culture, though increasingly digital, is in the midst of a moment of reflection. For many, turning digital into analog is helping fuel inspiration and creativity,” observes Mary Anne Hansan, president of the Paper and Packaging Board. “Pod Papers is our answer to this cultural moment – it’s meant to be pored over and become a keepsake.”

Podcast listeners can now enjoy the beloved content of their favorite podcasts in a unique, visual form, providing the best of both worlds. The limited-edition magazine features content from eight popular podcasts spanning a variety of genres, including:
•99% Invisible – Hosted by Roman Mars, 99% Invisible is one of the most popular podcasts on iTunes. It focuses on “the thought that goes into the things we don’t think about — the unnoticed architecture and design that shape our world.” For more, visit www.99percentinvisible.org.
•B&N Podcast –Hosted by executive producer Jim Mustich and other Barnes & Noble booksellers, The B&N Podcast by Barnes & Noble goes between the lines with today’s most interesting writers, exploring what inspires them, what confounds them, and what they were thinking when they wrote the books we’re talking about.

Big Win for Remote Sellers in Alabama Economic Nexus Case

ACMA's Legal Team Successfully Leads Online Seller Newegg in 'Bama. While not necessarily a precursor to the forthcoming Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v.

Newegg was one of the few companies that fought the Department. Click Read More below for additional information.

Postmaster General and Leadership of Union and Management Associations Form Joint Task Force on Service Performance

“Recognizing that issues in certain facilities across the country continue to hamper service performance, we have come together to form a National Joint Task Force on Service Performance to identify and craft solutions to improve service at specific locations within the network. Members of the Joint Task Force will work together on making necessary changes to strengthen service reliability, share best practices and stay vigilant to any emerging issues. The National Task Force will also ensure resources are allocated, lines of communication are open and concerns that are not resolved locally are escalated quickly. Maintaining strong service performance is a process, not a destination; through weather, natural disasters and a holiday season in the midst of a pandemic. Mail never stops flowing through our system. If bottlenecks occur it can have a cascading impact on the network. Addressing issues early can make all the difference.” The National Task Force held their first meeting on March 22.
