I'll be on KOMO News Radio AM 1000 at 11:15 a.m., jabbering about the Seattle Times Co.'s decision to hike newsstand prices of both city dailies to 50 cents, and hopefully about how the Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970 should be sent on the slow boat to Siberia.

Thank you!

Golly. Down here in Silicon-Valley-land, our esteemed San Jose Mercury News actually dropped the price of the daily paper a year or two ago, from $0.35 to $0.25, I believe to compete with online news services.

I don't buy their printed media. However, the Times website is my daily source for all things Puget Sound.

I didn't make the broadcast. Is there a transcript somewhere?

Newspaper Preservation Act, is that the same as the Clean Birdcage Law?

I'm a bit confused here. I would think that libertarians (at least the hard-core variety who oppose the antitrust laws) should welcome any law that--however arbitrarily--exempts some companies from such laws (just as they should welcome any tax loopholes, however arbitrary, on the ground that they do after all reduce the government's revenue).
