Newspapers: The (low) price of an education

A longtime reader sent me a copy of a Greensboro Daily News bill from 1922. At her request, I blocked out the name and address.

Six months for $3.50. Not bad. She wrote: "This is addressed to my father, who was a subscriber then and throughout his life. He saw newspapers as 'continuing education' and a necessary part of life."

I like the way he thought.

This price $3.50 for 6 months, would be about fair at todays market, for the amount of truth the News and Record prints.

What an odd comment, JW. Why do you say that?
