Six bits
If you buy The Salt Lake Tribune out of a vending box or at a convenience store, you've already noticed that the price has gone up.
As of May 1, the newsstand price (an anachronism, because who has newsstands anymore?) of The Tribune went up from 50 cents to 75 cents.
The Tribune isn't the only newspaper to make such a change recently. The Boston Herald kicked up its single-copy sale price from a quarter to a buck, while its rival The Boston Globe raised its price within the city from 75 cents to a dollar. The Chicago Sun-Times went from 50 cents to 75 cents at the end of March. And the Financial Times reported Friday that the venerable New York Times will likely raise its newsstand price - from $1.50 to $2 for the daily paper, and from $5 to $6 on Sundays - sometime this week.
Of course, if you're reading this blog, then you probably read The Tribune for free online - so you couldn't care less about the newsstand price.
