Tribune, Scripps Use Thanksgiving to Increase Prices

Tribune, Scripps Use Thanksgiving to Increase Prices
"U.S. Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 26 this year. Newspapers from Washington to San Bernardino, California, will be charging Sunday prices for Thursday editions stuffed with ads for the retail bargains on offer on “Black Friday,”

Interesting.
They're increasing prices on the product they make the most money on.
So, if the cost of a newspaper matters to a customer (it does), there will be fewer customers buying that day's paper.
And less advertising money to the newspapers down the pike...and so on and so forth....
