Fact check

Fact check
: I’ve again seen a handful of references to the circulation of the New York Times falling under Raines. As I’ve pointed out before: The price of the paper also went up at the same time from 75 cents to $1 and when you increase your price 33 percent you always see a decrease in sales (though they are making more money from circulation now). Just for the record.

    And did the circulation fall for all newspapers during the rise in paper costs? If not, might there be another reason the falling circulation other than paper costs?

    First, it’s not “the price of paper” but “the price of the paper,” as I said: that is, the newspaper, the end-product.
    And, yes, whenever a paper raises its price, its circulation drops. Rule of nature.
