Newspaper prices up by next week.

Faced in particular with soaring paper costs, almost all national dailies will increase their newsstand prices by 10 to 30 cents.

The prices of

Le Monde

, Les

Echos

and Le

Figaro

will thus rise, during the week, by 20 cents, to 3.40 euros, like that of Liberation, raised to 2.70 euros.

An increase of 20 cents will also be applied to the weekend offer (with a magazine in addition) of Les Echos, which will reach six euros,

Le Monde

increasing its own by 30 cents, to 5.20 euros.

The price of

La Croix

will drop from 2.40 euros to 2.70 euros from this Friday.

A “historic increase in paper prices”

And the different editions of

the Team

will cost 10 cents more from January 2, 2023 (at 2.30 euros during the week, 3.30 euros at the weekend, and 4.60 euros for the monthly weekend offer including France Football), such as

l'Humanité

(at 2.60 euros) and l'Humanité magazine (at 4 euros).

On the other hand,

Le Parisien

, which already increased its price by 10 cents in September, will still be sold at 1.90 euros.

In a context of crisis in the paper press and erosion of single-issue sales in favor of digital, newsstand prices have been rising regularly in January for several years.

But there is also a "historic increase in paper prices" and "industrial costs", lamented the chairman of the management board of the

Le Monde

group , Louis Dreyfus, justifying "essential" increases to "maintain self-financing" and " editorial investments” of the newspaper.
