The Guardian to raise cover prices by 20p from next week
The Guardian newspaper will increase the price of its daily offering by 20p to £1.60 from next week.
Increase: The cover price will go up by 20p
The change takes effect from Monday 13 January and alongside the changes to the daily price, the Saturday paper cost will increase by 20p to £2.50.
A Guardian News & Media spokesperson said: “The uplift in sales for both the Guardian and the Observer following the launches of Observer Tech Monthly and biannual magazine The Fashion, supported by our Own The Weekend marketing campaign, prove that our continue investment in print is being welcomed by our readers.
“We’ve got more print innovations to come in 2014, and while price rises are never easy decisions, it will enable us to continue to offer our loyal and engaged audience an improved, quality product.”
Retail terms under the new price system remain the same at 24 per cent Monday-Friday and 23.6 per cent on Saturdays.
