In an effort to stay relevant, paper newspapers are collectively raising their cover prices on March 4, 2019. I guess you all also learned to clear your cookies and browser history to get more than 10 free articles too?
Anyway, the APP is now going to charge $2.50 for weekday papers, and $3.00 for Sunday. This turns out to be expensive toilet paper or bird cage liner! Although, if you’re reading this article here, you’ve already moved on from the biased trash Asbury Park Press.
OCSN obtained an internal memo that went out this week to newspaper dealers warning of the impending price increases. It also shows that dealers aren’t making much money off selling newspapers at all!
Ocean County Scanner News is advertiser-supported and staffed by a group of volunteers who work around the clock to deliver breaking news to our fans!
Who the heck buys newspapers anymore?
John D’Elia I still get the Sunday paper, easier than canceling it lol
The Asbury Park is so bias why would anyone buy it.
Lucille Piserchia Cancelled for that reason, and the cost
Ginger Lenart Oliszewski that’s why I cancelled and when I told them why they said how about just the weekend delivery?? They never paid attention to the reason I was cancelling.
Who the hell reads this crap paper anyway?? I wouldn’t buy it when they offered for 99cents
F app don’t need a paper we got scanner news
I like the newspaper. I like the crosswords too. Haven’t bought the paper since the last price hike.
Too much $$$ for APP
I clear my cookies and browser history for other reasons ?
Didn’t know they still sell NP
So nobody is buying it cheap so maybe if they make it cost more people will buy it? Who the fuck is running the paper A.O.C.?
Steven Smith true though !
I enjoyed APP when it was owned by Plangere. I used to buy it daily.
Although they do some local reporting, it is a shell of itself since becoming a Gannett asset. Another corporate spinner of news.
They are pricing themselves out of existence.
News papers are so 1950ish, I get that older people don’t use internet etc but no use for them
APP: we are losing members, this isn’t sustainable. Does anyone have any ideas?
Sales Team: Lets raise prices on something very few people want anymore to see if that will drum up new customers while not pissing off existing customers.
APP: That’s fantastic. Raise the prices.
They need to focus on their online stuff more. To much paper waste and ppl barely read the paper anymore
Liz Geyer Boyer idiots
AP = After Plangere
They endorse candidates that will run our state into the ground and make costs of living unsustainable, then report that our state has been run into the ground, and want more money for that?
Tom Austin that’s unions running up the cost of living not politicians
At a school board meeting in my town they told an old woman who could hardly afford the tax on her home she lived in all her life “if you can’t afford to live here move”. That’s what you get when you pay your mortgage all your life and invest in the community. When you are of no more use to the buerocracy they want to march you off to a homeless camp.
They endorsed Christie twice and then endorsed Guadagno.
They got to keep the shareholders happy, it’s all about profits
Newspaper is a dying business due to internet. Profit has never been from subscribers. Profit has always been from advertising. Print advertising is down because they are advertising on internet instead.

Who needs a newspaper anymore
I used to enjoy the APP but gave it up over a year ago. I can spend my $40 plus dollars on something else, other than something I’m throwing out !!
Lynda Fox Brown $40? Mine was up to $65 before I said enough!
Only good paper is the Sunday paper that’s it. Rest is trash
Read the paper every day for 25 years. Once it became political and the local stories went away I was done. Local coverage of sports other than football is nonexistent. Was told by a NP writer that other sports dont drive ads.

Asbury Park Press is online for FREE so why pay for the paper, let alone delivery. And who reads papers?
What newspapers
Instead of raising the price of the current customers that have been with you since the beginning, either raise the price of new customers or raise the price through advertising? We wont be getting the paper anymore.
Well it’s official, we canceled our subscription as of March. ! Goodbye ! We’ve only been your customer since having the Review! But we’re not loyal enough.
2.50 a day? For what? For a shell of what they once were. I’d rather spend the 7.50 for a MONTH and access the archives when the APP used to be worth reading.
Who the heck still reads the paper? Its filled with day old news lol.
Hey how quick can we have an excuse to close the doors ? I got an idea let’s raise the price on something 99% of people don’t buy . ??

I cancelled mine after24 years. Shitty delivery service and customer service is handed out of South Carolina
Richard John Fania
I was a app home delivery carrier for 27 years seen this going down lost 50 customers in couple months recently left doesn’t pay to get up at 230 am in all kinds of weather an gas price let alone wear an tear on your vehicle give it couple years I don’t think thell be home delivery
App sucks. I run a tiny 3 line ad in classifieds. The cost is $156 . It runs in 2 papers for 10 days. Rip off.
