Abstract

The article focuses on the rising costs of paper. Magazine publishers are dealing with numerous rising costs, including technology investments, postage, editors, and paper. Due to the weakness of the American dollar, publishers' overseas options are increasingly being restricted. In 2007, paper is emerging from an era of rising and falling prices. Coupled with structural changes, including mergers and a growing role for private equity, prices will continue to increase into 2008.
