Catalyst Joins newsprint Price Increase
Catalyst will raise its 30 lb. newsprint prices to match the recent AbitibiBowater $25/MT on May 1 and $25/MTon June 1. Looks like all systems GO for this increase.
Surprise surprise - all the majors have joined and announced a new price level for newsprint. I only wish I could combine the efforts of my 'competitors' and announce a price increase. Our margins are tight - lower subscription and advertising revenue combined with increased raw material cost - not exactly a healthy environment.
Guess that's all of them! Newsprint will increase - buyers have no choice. Only hope our advertising revenue increases as well!
