Thanks for the feedback.

The only glossy slick color paper out here is in the ads stuffed in the newpapers and particuliar on the weekends and like this pre Black Friday. Everything else is on what appears to be regular news print including color photos and a lot of color ads.

If the costs go up with the slick paper, the advertisers have to make the decision to stick with the more costly paper or to use regular news print. We are seeing more of the later choice. I doubt if the fishwraps get involved in anything besides stuffing their papers with these expensive glossy ads. The high dollar advertisers are probably the ones dealing with the increase purchase prices of the slick paper.

Even Plum TV as reported by the NY Post is failing.

Not to pile on, but I think the article is talking about magazines like Time, Newsweak, etc.

It ain't the newspapers who are in deep doo-doo on this development. It's the magazines...
