They are still losing money but plan to make it up on volume, err I mean still losing money but lose less of it… losing money but lose less on lower sales… okay, I give up.

The street sale price of the Los Angeles Times went up to 75 cents (from 50) all over town today, judging by my email.

[From LA Observed: LAT now 50% more]

This is reminiscent of the Boston Globe’s plan to make the paper more appealing and cut costs by making the newspaper 24 pages smaller. Wonder how that is working out for them?
