USA Today has been a staple in my life, but I don't know that I'm ready for this. On my way to lunch today I discovered that my McPaper has gone up to a buck an issue. For over 20 years it cost just 50 cents, and has been 75 cents for only a couple years.
But I suppose raising their price is better than pleading for a bail-out...

The newspaper industry is really hurting. $1 an issue is a lot.

Is this worse than when your Coke price increased (was it Burger King or McDonald's)? I'm starting to be concerned about the amount of trauma you are experiencing this year.

the Coke thing was definitely worse, though it's back down to about $1.29. it's comforting to know you care.
