Rising prices of Japanese newsprint have led to price increases in multiple newspapers, impacting newspaper operations

According to comprehensive Japanese media reports, since last year, with the surge in energy prices and the depreciation of the yen, the prices of daily necessities for Japanese people have risen one after another. The rise in newsprint prices has directly hit the Japanese newspaper industry.

On February 27th, Nippon Paper Co., Ltd. announced that starting from April 1st, it will increase the price of newsprint by 300 yen per order (the amount of paper required to print 1000 4-page newspapers), an increase of over 10%.

In this situation, some newspapers have gradually offset the increase in paper costs by increasing prices. It is reported that major Japanese newspapers have successively raised or decided to raise newspaper prices, and some evening newspapers and sports newspapers have also been affected. More than 10 local newspapers with coverage less than county-level newspapers have announced or actually raised prices since 2023.
