Now that the Journal and the Times have jacked up their newsstand price, the Sun wants to get into the action. That's right, New York's other "high-quality broadsheet" is raising their newsstand price to $1. Still, odds are high that you'll still find yourself getting free, unsolicited copies on your doorstep every morning, so it probably won't affect you all that much.

Dear Colleague, Effective August 6th, The New York Sun's newsstand price will be raised to $1.00. This move is consistent with the newspaper's long-term marketing plan adopted and instituted in January 2006. This decision aligns the newspaper's cover price with other high-quality broadsheets in New York City. The price of a home delivery subscription will remain the same.
