$3.00 for the daily paper?? For a weekday, not even the Sunday paper???

Haven’t bought a printed newspaper in years, as I’m online so much and get news online. But $3.00 seems way out of line, even adjusted for inflation over the past years.

And they wonder why circulation is declining. Some of it is the internet and people getting news online, but part of it has to be the price.

I was in Chicago in 1980, and both the Tribune and Sun-Times cost 20 cents for the daily paper. Adjusted for inflation, that would be about 65 cents today.

I noticed that too. $3.00 for a newspaper?

It's been a long time since I read newspapers I guess.

When I delivered the Boston Herald back in the 1970s, it was 15 cents for the daily. The Sunday was a whopping 50 cents.
