The NYT is joining WSJ and FT in raising its newsstand price ... NYTCO CEO Janet Robinson told the Newspaper Association of America’s Mid-Year Media Review the paper will raise single-copy and subscription rates. According to the AP, she said the price increases slated to take effect July 16 would result in about $7 million to $8 million in additional revenue in 2007, and $14 million to $16 million on an annual basis going forward. Home-delivery rates will be hiked 3-4 percent while the single-copy price will jump to $1.25 from $1.00 and Sunday single-copies will move to $4.00 from from $3.50.
