The Oregonian's Circulation Off 12 Per Cent

Today in The Death of Print Media: According To Oregon Media Central, The Oregonian's circulation has taken a bit of a hit:

The numbers may result not only from reduced interest in print editions, but also from a price hike on single-copy sales in July. In the Portland Metro area, The Oregonian's newsstand price increased from 75 cents to $1.00. That increase is part of a national trend among papers to try to boost revenue from newspaper sales as ad sales slump.

Yeah, I know you have to make up the money from somwheres, but there's only so much of charging more for less that the peoples will take.

Maybe they ought to put another huge coin-sale or Amish hearth ad on the back page of the comics …

Bad idea actually. Wife's already on the warpath about that one.
