NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR } SUBSCRIPTION HATES I Subscription rates of newspapers- amd periodicals at the present time are purely nominal. They repre­ sent iQuiy a small fraction of the cost of publication. A substantial por­ tion of the cost is met out of adver­ tising reyepue. When the purchase lug power of a newspaper’s readers* is seriously curtailed at any time,, there is apt to be a falling-off in. advertising revlenue. To that- ex­ tent the subscription department loses in financial support. It means­ in some cases that if the paper is to continue publication, the subscribers, must bear a larger share of the cost. That appears to be what is happen-- ing with certain farm journals which formerly appeared weekly but are- now being issued only once or twice* a month. / After all, the subscriber is usually, getting, big value for his. money.. Take the case of your daily paper for instance. Suppose that the paper; were published for your sole benefit, and you were able to pay for it. The* subscription would then cost you a. fortune, in fact, the tidy sum- of a. million or two a year. a hundred thousand other people­ like yourself chip in apiece the cost for you is reduced to a five dollar bill.‘w But even the con­ tributions of a hundred thousand readers is only a small share of the* actual cost of producing a metropoli­ tan newspaper.' The balance has to be made up, out of advertising rev­ enue, or out of the shareholders’ pocikets. Tl}e same condition pre­ vails among weekly newspapers. There is a. tendency at the present^, time to increase subscription rates whereby a reader will pay a fairer share ,of the cost. The one cent newspaper has long since disappear­ ed. In many cities the daily papers are sold for five cents on the streets' and the Saturday paper for ten cents. We believe such a redistribution of” the burden as between "readers and the advertisers would put the pro­ duction of newspapers ier basis, both from the e'thical standpoints^ would also appreciate the paper more if he had to pay more than the* present nominal rate. It is contrary to human, nature to appreciate that-’. Which we get for little or nothing.
