New York Post doubles cover price

The street sale price of the New York Post goes up next Monday to 50 cents from 25 cents (25p/12.5p), reversing a price cut made seven years ago. Though the paper has made much of overtaking the sale of its rival, the New York Daily News (cover price: 50 cents), it has come at a price. The Post's losses are estimated to be about $70m (£35m) a year and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, obviously wishes to stem the tide. New York Times)
