Another way to make newspapers irrelevant
11/10/2010
At a time when newspapers are stuggling to keep subscribers this little nugget arrives in the mail - a one year renewal for the Palm Beach Post: $221.
Last year it was $110. Why the doubling in price? Well the Post has added a $91 "transportation cost."
Yup a delivery charge. They did add this sage bit of advice - "you have the option to pick up your newspaper to avoid transportation costs."
Indeed we do have that option.
But oddly another option is coming to mind that could save us the entire $221.
Good news for the many readers of Crowley Political Report - we have no plans to charge a transportation fee.
