New 'Express' cover price

Apr 07, 2009

From Monday, April 13, there will be an increase in the cover prices of the Daily Express and Saturday Express newspapers.

The Daily Express will move from $1 to $2 and the Saturday Express will move from $1.50 to $2.

There will be no change to the price of the Sunday Express, which is $3.

The cover price increases are the first since 1999 and are being introduced due to the decline in advertising demand, coupled with the significant increases in raw material costs, chief among them, the cost of newsprint.

"We believe the cover price increases being introduced at this time are absolutely necessary to protect the viability of the business," the Express management team stated in a notice published in today's newspaper.

The Express newspaper will continue its commitment to fearless and independent reporting and looks forward to readers' support and understanding, the management team added.
