A tongue-in-cheek social media post claims a rare interview with Johannes Gutenberg, the 15th-century inventor of the printing press, joking that he found social media amusing but preferred a good broadsheet. The gag plays on the irony of discussing print media's origins on modern digital platforms, and is being shared as light entertainment among journalism and broadcasting circles.
