The Philadelphia Inquirer & Philadelphia Daily News raise their newsstand price from $0.75 to $1 on Mon., Jan. 31st. The Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday paper will remain steady at $1.75. The Daily News doesn't publish a Sunday Edition.
I've lived in Philadelphia for about 4-5 years. When I first moved here, the daily price for both papers was $0.50.
I usually purchase both copies on a daily basis though $2 will definitely cause me to purchase them less frequently. I already pass on Sunday's paper every other week.
Note: Home delivery subscription prices will remain unchanged.
