Abstract: The increase in the cover price of an average Indian newspaper has not kept pace with inflation multiple times over the past two decades. At under Rs 1,000 for an average annual subscription, newspapers in India are cheaper than any other major newspaper market in the world. The difference between India and other countries is population density and labor costs in newspaper distribution. In India, newspapers are delivered door to door and at a very low cost. As many as 500 newspapers are delivered an hour, which would be a fraction of that given the suburban spread in the United States.
