It’s time for another installation of local media watch!

1. We begin with the big news that the Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer are planning to double the price of weekday copies of the paper. Under the new price structure, your laundry money will dissappear twice as fast, as issues will now cost two quarters instead of one. As of press time, there’s no word on whether you can expect to get anything more for your money (we’d like a flying car). For now, enjoy the last few weeks of the golden age of twenty-five cent papers; the price hike is expected to hit at the end of the month. [seattle times]

2. Because not everyone spends enough quality time in the U-District, or stumbling into classes after an evening of moderate drinking, we continue to spotlight the hilarity of the Daily. Today’s issue investigates the effect of the weather on winter recreation [# and is accompanied by a photo of a barefoot undergrad playing frisbee on the quad.

3. per usual, there is no item three. maybe next week!
