NEW YORK The Boston Globe announced today its newsstand price will increase to 75 cents from 50 cents on Feb. 4.
Home delivery and Sunday remain unchanged.
The increase applies to newspapers sold in Greater Boston. The daily Globe is already priced at 75 cents at locations beyond 30 miles from the city.
Meanwhile, the president of the Boston Newspaper Guild fired off a letter to Globe executives after the Metro newspaper said layoffs were coming. It opened: "The Boston Newspaper Guild is disgusted to have read the Metro story about possible layoffs at the Boston Globe with no prior mention of reductions by Globe representatives to The Boston Newspaper Guild.
"A Globe spokesman, Al Larkin, executive denied the Metro story -- or at least the size of the layoffs, with this statement: "Metro Boston's front page story today claiming that the Boston Globe is planning 'hundreds of layoffs' is factually incorrect. There are no plans for a staff reduction of the size cited in the Metro. As we have said many times in the past, we are always looking for operational efficiencies and will make staff reductions in accordance with those efforts when and if appropriate."
