The total number of copies of newspapers printed throughout the world in one year Is 12,000,000. To print these requires 781,240 tons of paper, or 1,562,480,000 pounds, while it would take the fastest press In London 333 years to print a single year’s edition, which would produce a stack of papers nearly fifty miles high.
