I think the price of some newspapers has become ridiculous. To charge £2.50 for a daily paper Monday to Friday is £650 per year, not including the even-more-expensive Saturday and Sunday editions. Unsustainable.
Whether or not you agree with its politics (and I'm well aware many on AB do Not) it's easy to see why so many now buy the Daily Mail, which, given the cost of broadsheets, has plenty in it to read for only 70p. So has the i. I really enjoy doing newspaper crosswords, but cannot now afford a daily paper, and only buy The Times on a Saturday, and sometimes the MoS, only cos I'm determined to win the £1,500 crossword.
