My Sunday Times cost me an extra 20p yesterday. The paper explained that it was the first price hike for four years and that the increase "is less than the rise in the retail prices index over that period."
So the ST now costs £2.20 - though a subscription cuts that by 50p - making it the most expensive of Sunday titles. Then again, it is also the largest in terms of sections and overall pagination.
For the record, here are the cover prices of the rivals: The Observer is £2; the Sunday Telegraph, £1.90; and the Independent on Sunday, £1.80.
Perhaps "for the record" should say "for the moment".
