It wasn't that long ago when you'd go to a convenience store and pick up a copy of your Daily Times for a quarter. That's right, it was 25 cents.
Not long ago Gannett Publications/Daily Times raised their rates up to as much as seventy five cents per paper and people started cancelling their subscriptions like there was no tomorrow.
Guess what Folks, today that newspaper has skyrocketed all the way up to $1.25 PER DAY/PAPER! They should take a page from other local news outlets and call themselves, less news in more time. The paper continues to get thinner by the day and now they're charging $1.25, like it's the Wall Street Journal or the USA Today.
That's it Folks, they're done. I can assure you they will lose more customers over this move than anything else. It's time to go for the kill, a figure of speech, of course.
UPDATE: The Daily Times has now posted the following. "An editing error made it appear that the price today was $1.25. That is incorrect, and there are no plans to increase the cost of the daily paper."

Guess I will have to find something cheaper to line my bird cages with.
And Good ridence
Joe,
This is crazy, but get a load of this, I called to find out why the change in pricing, there response" It was a MISPRINT ....ABSURD! What about everyone that has already purchased a paper today! Should we assume they have been ripped off over a MISPRINT....WOW Thanks for this information Joe. I don't see any other media alerting us.
Then they take a good article by Laura and others and chop it up, if the journalist uses spin is one thing, the editor doing it is another. It is no longer a free press.
misprint my eye.....they also had to change the upc code because my paper rang up at $1.25 at the food lion.
I say IF it was a misprint, then this goes to show that the paper is STILL not being edited/proofread.
I believe this has been part of their problem for quite some time now, but they appear to have chosen not to care about it.
Well now, maybe they will care!
