Binary finery, from print to digital

   



Lots of print publications have made the transition to purely digital titles – Cream did the same back a few years ago – but when Switzerland's Neue Zürcher Zeitung made the jump, it announced the new era to readers in a way that combined both mediums ancient and modern.

Earlier this month, the entire cover of Neue Zürcher Zeitung was printed in a series of 0's and 1's – otherwise known as binary, the basic language of computing – to herald the fact that the paper was going digital.

I'm surprised that Wired hasn't staged a similar stunt before and printed an entire issue in binary notation.
