Newspaper news: Tribune, Scripps Use Thanksgiving to Increase Prices.

Tribune Co., E.W. Scripps Co. and a U.S. newspaper industry suffering record declines in advertising sales and circulation will raise prices on Thanksgiving as readers seek inserts touting holiday discounts.

U.S. Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 26 this year. Newspapers from Washington to San Bernardino, California, will be charging Sunday prices for Thursday editions stuffed with ads for the retail bargains on offer on "Black Friday," the day after Thanksgiving and the traditional start of the U.S. holiday shopping season.

What a world we live in.
