New Dawn FM News

Nation wide readers of PNGs number one daily newspaper, Post Courier team is currently in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, to announce the increase of one newspaper from K2.00 to K5.00.
According to General Manager Director Frank Genaia, ‘Post Courier has a special place in Bougainville’.
He says that the total cost involved in freighting the newspaper is very expensive.
“Before we increase the price, we felt the need to properly inform our readers of the managements decision and the reason behind the increase,” he says.
Genaia adds the newspaper was sold at K1.00 and then to K2.00 for the last fifteen years until now.
“The K3.00 increment will assist the newspaper company to increase the volume of newspaper circulation in the region and not for profit.
He says Air Niugini’s cargo freight is charged at K30 per kilogram.
The overall cost of freighting newspapers is K1.2million to K1.6million to freight 2,000 newspapers annually.
“We believe Post Courier has a bigger role in informing the people of Bougainville,” he added.
The team is lead by Post Courier General Manager Director Frank Genaia, Post Courier Business Advisor Jackson Rima, Circulation Manager Althea Jerowai and Senior Journalist Gorethy Kenneth. ENDS////AK
