Catching up on some paper work, and just realized that I hadn’t mentioned that the Charlotte Observer is upping the price of a subscription again. Looks like effective Monday, the weekend rate (OK, Friday/Saturday/Sunday) is going up from $2.50 to $2.75, so presumably the Sunday paper will costing a quarter more. Got to love them telling me that this amounts to “only a few cents more per day” when I only get the paper three days a week.

And yes, by increasing the cost of a subscription in a down economy with little inflation, the UPoR is saying that it it still burdened by having too many subscribers. Sure this latest increase will relieve them of a few more.
