BAD NEWS: NEWSPRINT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN EVER

Files under General | Nov 13th

Philip M. Stone reports the bad news:

US newsprint pricing is currently at  a 13-year high with 30lb paper now at $740 a tonne – that compares with $567 at the beginning of the year, so that’s a 30% increase.

And for newspapers like the New York Times that switched to lighter 27 pound paper to save money, well, the price of that is $790 a ton.
