Why we have to raise the cover price of the Morning Star at the end of this month
Editor BEN CHACKO says the cumulative impact of a couple of years of very high inflation have now hit the people's paper despite modest rises in income

PERIODICALLY I have to be the bearer of bad news. That bad news is that the price of the printed Morning Star will rise at the end of this month.

From Monday September 30 your weekday paper will cost £1.50, while from Saturday October 5 the larger weekend edition will cost £2.

Price rises would be a poor response to falling sales, entrenching the cycle of decline we have seen in print sales across the newspaper industry in the last decade.
