NY Times To Raise Paper Prices, Again


nytimes1.gifThe New York Times announced Tuesday that it will raise its prices starting June 1st.

The newsstand price for weekday and Saturday editions will go to $2 from $1.50, and the Sunday times will go up to $5 in New York, $6 for the national edition.

It’s the second increase in less than a year to help the newspaper rebound from a steep drop in advertising revenue. The company lost nearly $75 million during the first quarter of this year.

Meanwhile, unionized workers at the Times have agreed to take a five percent pay cut through the end of the year. The workers will get 10 days paid vacation in exchange.

Non-union workers have already agreed to the same terms, and the Times says it plans to restore pay next year if its advertising revenue rebounds.
