The cover price of the MEN will rise today from 35p to 38p. The increase will effect all six Monday to Saturday editions.
The news has surprised a number of industry observers who believed the next step for the MEN might be take the title entirely free across the Manchester conurbation.
However, Elaine Darbyshire, communications director at the MEN says it is “Business as usual” and advises that “No one should expect any departure from our extremely successful part paid/part free combination.”
The increase she adds is “Simply to cover increases in raw materials and news print – there’s no master plan.”
