Banner to raise newsstand and delivery prices
The Bennington Banner will raise newsstand prices from 15 to 20 cents and home delivery from 90 cents weekly to $1.20 starting January 3. Carriers share the increase, the first in over six years, driven by rising newsprint costs from 160 to 305 dollars per ton. Publisher Kelton B. Miller cites improved editorial quality and added features like UpCountry, with similar increases planned for Miller papers.
