LWN Announces 20% Subscription Price Increase After Five Years

LWN (Linux Weekly News) has announced a subscription price increase of approximately 20%, effective September 15, marking only the third price adjustment since adopting the subscription model in 2002. The new rates will be $6 for Starving hacker, $11 for Professional hacker, $19 for Project leader, and $55 for Maniacal supporter, with group subscriptions seeing similar increases. The publication cites nearly 20% cumulative inflation and rising costs, particularly health insurance, as the primary reasons for the adjustment.
