Faced with the double crisis experienced by the paper press in 2020, the satirical weekly is increasing its price on newsstands.
This is the first time in 30 years that the "Canard enchaîné" has played on its price to get out of a bad patch.
This increase will also benefit merchants.
After a (very) late switch to digital, the satirical newspaper Le
Canard enchaîné
will increase its price.
It must be said that the newspaper was faced with a double crisis.
The bankruptcy of press distributor Presstalis last year cost it more than 3 million euros, and lockdowns against Covid-19 have driven sales down.
This is the first price increase for the
Chained Duck
in 30 years.
The weekly goes from 1.20 euros to 1.50 euros.

A shared increase
The
Duck has
therefore increased by 30 euro cents in 30 years.
We are far below the rate of inflation.
The newspaper nevertheless wishes to specify, in an insert addressed to its readers, that part of this increase will be donated to newsagents, also victims of the bankruptcy of Presstalis.
The weekly also recalls that despite this increase, it remains extremely cheap.
The
Chained Duck
will cost 1.50 euros, while
Le Monde
or
Les Echos
now cost 3 euros.
