A $15,000 pay cut is a shock, and I don’t think that lost income will ever come back. What good is it to be a loyal, experienced employee? They want cheap, and the product is becoming just that.

Globe to raise prices to $1.50 daily ‘to remain viable’

The Boston Globe is raising its prices in an effort “to remain viable,” according to a memo to its distributor obtained by the Herald.

Effective May 4, the cover price of the beleaguered broadsheet delivered outside of Greater Boston Monday through Saturday will increase to $1.50 - a 50-cent increase.

The price of the Sunday Globe will increase to $3.50 in Eastern Massachusetts and $4 everywhere else.

Rhonda speaks Italian! In a 'You Tube' video released today, our girl speaks in tongues. My Italian is a little rusty, but I think she said George Bush is a hottie.
