Newsprint shock horror
Article Abstract:
Daily Mail and General Trust may benefit from a relaxing of the newspaper price war in the UK, but market conditions are still difficult. The company's profit for 1994 was increased by the sale of a stake in Euromoney. Advertising revenue has increased in 1st half 1995, but may not continue to do so at such a strong rate. The company's results are likely to be affected by a rise in the cost of newsprint, and the acquisition of the Nottingham Evening Post will add to paper costs.
