I really haven't paid much attention to print edition newspapers for years but today when I went into a Walgreens I decided to take a quick look at the lone newspaper I saw on the rack and was SHOCKED by what I saw. Is this also the situation with your local newspaper? Are they as THIN and EXPENSIVE as the Sun-Sentinel? Let me know in your comments.
PING!
Same thing happened to our local newspaper
Newspapers have always been more costly than the price reflects. They relied heavily on advertisers to make their money. This seems high. I wonder what the price is for a yearly subscription.
Newspapers? Well, I may have to buy a Sunday paper soon to act as a catch all for Mrs rktman’s acrylic art pours and resin. Other than that, I really don’t care if they all fold. Does that make me a bad person? 🤣
I couldn’t honestly say for sure. The Houston Comical has been a “MUST AVOID AT ALL COSTS” in this home for years. And I would say that they would have to pay me much more than $4.50 to take it.
Our paper also reduced the size of it’s pages. They’re only about two thirds the size they used to be.
It used to be that every house had a sunday paper delivered. Now, only about 5% have a sunday paper in their drive way.
I think we cancelled our subscription 15 maybe 20 years ago.
Nothing shocks me anymore.
Half the country believes everything the left tells them.
This ship of fools is hand drilling holes in the hull.
maybe the price of recycled toilet paper went up...
They are stealing from the elderly with that price. They are the only ones that still get a paper. If drug companies did this...the newspapers would cry foul!
Our local (York, PA) papers’ — daily and Sunday — ad space, per column inch, is easily as expensive as the NYT’s ad space. Ridiculous.
Same here. The Arizona Daily Star (Tucson) is $3 or $4 for the daily edition. It’s still four sections, but they’re rarely more than 6 or 8 pages. The editorial page is nothing but thoughtless, knee-jerk leftism. Letters too, with only an occasional exception. And yes, the price of newspapers would be off the charts if not for advertisers.
That is crazy expensive. Even the WSJ or the financial times don’t cost that (at least last time I looked)
That said I have seen a bunch of small local newspapers springing up in my area, it really surprises me
What is this ‘newspaper’ thing you speak of?
I wonder what the price is for a yearly subscription.
(but too lazy to look it up?)

“They are stealing from the elderly with that price. They are the only ones that still get a paper. “
Elderly get it at home. .... 45 cents.
It makes you a realist, seeing the degeneration of newspaper ‘news’ turned to propaganda. Four or five billionaires own the newspapers and control what propaganda you are fed.
Reno News & Review is free...
In the 90s and early 2000s read the top fold in the newstand waiting on the morning train. Have not bought a newspaper in 20 years.
