Print is Dead campaign

A strong supporter of media's transition from traditional to digital formats, he founded the Print is Dead campaign.Fall states, "I truly believe that there isn’t a future for printed magazines. I’m not addressing books because they have more “life” and can be passed onto further generations. Magazine issues have a short life span and basically lose relevancy the second you’re done flipping the last page." He further elaborates that "I think that print is dead solely because of how much the web and technology have taken over how we consume information...The overhead to run an online publication is close to nothing in comparison to one that is printed. On top of that, publishing online is instant and can travel across the world within a split second and it doesn't destroy thousands of trees. I'm not saying that there aren't any downfalls of the Internet being such an open forum because people abuse the fact that everyone has a voice nowadays; however the way media is consumed and the way technology has shaped itself over the past five years proves my point that it is taking over."

Twitter

On February 1, 2010, Fall began a campaign on the microblogging social network Twitter

of Twitter, as an "experiment to exercise the full potential of
the internet" and demonstrate the power of digital media, in light of disparaging statements made by static
press. For 100 days, Fall is
releasing exclusive web content to his Twitter followers, in support of the "digital
revolution".
His Twitter postings have also gained other recognition - ranking in Fashion Indie's top ten list of
industry tweets in regards to the Kanye West VMA controversy. Including a screen
capture of West's apology, Fall declared, "interrupting an award show a second time is sinking to a new
low, however I think Kanye should concentrate more on speaking his apology in full english sentences".
