Who believes print newspapers have a future? 'The Occupy Wall Street Journal' does
Issue No. 1 of The Occupy Wall Street Journal was written and edited over the course of 12 hours.

They worked through the night Thursday into Friday and will reconvene this afternoon to wrap up the production work at The Indypendent's temporary workspace at The Brecht Forum, a Marxist culture center on the West Side Highway not far from the demonstration site.
