"THE LISTENER'S" PRICE
S from next week, the retail price of "The New Zealand Listener" will be sixpence, The increase was postponed as long as possible; but rising costs, especially for newsprint, made the change inevitable. Newsprint is our largest single item of expenditure, Since the war its price has climbed steeply, and every new increase adds thousands of pounds to our costs. Other costs have moved upwards, though not to the same extent. The price of newsprint is now four times what it was in 1939, and there is no early prospect of relief. Advertising brings in substantial revenue, but a gap remains between reyenue and expenditure which cannot be closed without a larger return from sales. "The Listener" seeks no more than a modest profit. It must pay its way, however, to maintain and improve its service. Postal subscriptions for delivery within-New Zealand will now be 26/- for 12 months and 13/- for six months.
