It does not surprise me that print media (and even print mail) will increase in price.  We can only hope for enhancements in value and that the high cost print media that reach our porch or mailbok will impove in quality.

The NY Times on my front proch should not contain any section I “never” read.  It should be colorful and have simple icons to show me where to go online for more engagement.

“Dear Home Delivery Subscriber,

“Effective Monday, June 1, there will be an increase in the price of the home delivery of The Times…We regret having to raise rates at this time of financial challenge for so many cross the nation. It is, however, one of a number of steps we must take in order to secure the core qualities that define The Times and make it so highly valued buy the most discerning readers.”

Times are changing.  We need value change too!
