print editions

Physical published versions

Print editions are physical, paper-based versions of publications—books, newspapers, magazines—as distinguished from digital formats.

The phrase gained currency as online publishing expanded: The print edition includes photos not available on the website.

A newspaper's print edition lands on doorsteps while its digital edition updates continuously.
