You can't argue with the facts:
The average (UK newspaper) cover price rose 28.2% from 51p in 2001 to 71p for the first seven months of 2009. At the same time, the total annual circulation of the 10 dailies fell 19.11%. That’s a perverse correlation, but papers have little choice in the face of falling evaporating custom and falling ad sales
We're going to be asked to subsidise the papers soon enough.
