March 28, 200818 yr I took a long lunch today and I wanted to sit down and actually read through the newspaper and basically relax a little. I stopped by the newspaper stand to purchase a Herald Leader. I put my 2 quarters in and nothing happened. I couldn't figure out what was going on and then I saw "Daily $.75". I put another quarter in and took my newspaper. When did the price of the LHL raise from $.50 to $.75? Is this a permanent change? Anyone know?
March 28, 200818 yr Author Oil prices, you know? I don't fault them for it, I was just wondering if this is a permanent increase.
March 28, 200818 yr I just did a little bit of searching and found an interesting article on how newspaper readership continues to go down. For the six months ending September 2006 —industry circulation was down 2.8% daily, 3.4% Sunday compared to the same period a year earlier. That was marginally worse than in the same period of 2005, when circulation was down 2.6% daily and 3.1% Sunday.1 And those 2005 results were considered dramatic, producing headlines about the possible death of the industry. http://www.stateofthemedia.org/2007/narrative_newspapers_audience.asp?cat=2&media=3
March 28, 200818 yr Author The Internet equals the end of the newspaper. The newspaper business would be a bad one to invest in, IMO.

I don't know about the H-L, but the Courier-Journal has raised the rack price to 75 cents anywhere outside the Greater L'ville area. My guess is the H-L just did what Lexington has done for years on everything and copied the L'ville idea.

March 28, 200818 yr I can't see taking the laptop into the "library". :lol: :lol: :lol: THAT'S why I carry a PDA!
March 28, 200818 yr It was explained in the paper, somewhere, that in the Lexington area that the HL will remain at $.50. The rest of the state has to pay $.75 during the week and $2 on Sunday. :irked:
