Rate Hikes Threaten Small Publishers
The US Postal Service has decided to offer large publishers postal rate discounts while not offering the same to independent publishers. This unfairly gives the largest publishers like Time Warner and Hearst an even greater advantage over smaller publishers.
Some independent publishers like The Nation will see an increase of $500,000 in their annual postal costs. This is not a partisan issue, because it will negatively affect small publishers of any political bent. Please sign the petition asking the postal system to reconsider their decision.
