Let’s compare some newsstand prices. NY Post – 50 cents; Washington Post – 50 cents; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette – 50 cents; Charlotte Observer – 50 cents; Raleigh News & Observer – 50 cents; Miami Herald – 35 cents.
Many major newspapers charge 75 cents, for example: The Atlanta Journal Constitution, The Dallas Morning News, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune, USA Today.
But for a paper as crummy as The Asheville Citizen Times to charge 75 cents? I still buy it every day for 50 cents. But as a matter of principle, I won’t succumb to a 50% increase in price. Good luck to them.
