Three Chinese-language newspapers in Hong Kong have raised their retail prices by HK$3 (40 US cents) this month, marking the first sector-wide adjustment in two years.
Ming Pao’s price rise took effect on Sunday, increasing its single-copy price from HK$12 to HK$15, up 25 per cent.
Two financial broadsheets will follow suit on Monday. The Hong Kong Economic Times (HKET) will raise its price from HK$12 to HK$15, while the Hong Kong Economic Journal (HKEJ) will increase its price by 20 per cent from HK$15 to HK$18.
