...first six months. After Berlin, the publishers are planning to expand distribution to other German cities and European capitals. The daily paper will cost $2.70 (€1.80), but students will pay just $1.80 (€1.20), about the same price as one of Germany's mainstream newspapers, like Süddeutsche. The founders of Niiu say that readers will end up saving money in the long run because they won't have to buy different newspapers anymore. (Read "The State of the Media: Not Good...
