Publishers Feel
Cost Squeeze In
Paper Price Boost
NEW YORK, (/P)—Faced with
another $10-a-ton boost in the
price of Canadian newsprint—the
second such increase in less than
a year — American newspaper
publishers find themselves in an
increasing difficult cost squeeze
in getting out your newspaper.
The latest increase—it’s sched
uled to take effect June 15—is
expected to add more than 50
million dollars a year to costs of
publishing in this country.
Newsprint, the paper that news
papers are printed on, accounts
for up to 50 percent of the ex
pense of getting out a big metro
politan daily. Figuring in the new
$10 increase, the price of news
print since V-J Day has climbed
152 percent. It has gone up more
than 200 percent since the Great
Depression.
Some publishers predict that
the higher costs will inevitably
lead to further increases in adver
tising and subscription rates—al
ready near or past the saturation
point, in the opinion of many.
