China and India suffer high newsprint bills

Philip Stone reports that in China and India, the world's two highest newspaper circulation countries where sales increased by 18.4m last year, high newsprint prices are taking their toll. In India, imported newsprint is costing between up to $970 (£620) a tonne. In China, newsprint has just broken through the $900 (£575) a tonne roof and it accounts for around 60-70% of a newspaper's overall expenditure. (Via FollowTheMedia)
