There are many ways in which the newspapers have changed due to the economy. Firstly, there is a major rise in price for ink, this then has a major effect on the prices of the actual newspaper. For example, in the 1980s the paper was said to be around 20p but now it is recently been priced at 50p, that's over double! This is mainly because it costs more for the companies to print of each issue.
There are also high rises in advertisements over the past few years, this would also have an impact on how much the newspaper charges, depending on their view of the situation. For example, 'The Sun' charges for their issues of the newspaper this is their main source of money, although there is some newspapers like, 'The Metro' that offer the newspaper for free for people that are in a hurry on the trains, but wait! how do they make their money? They make all their money solely on advertising.
