From 5 June, the price of weekday editions of the Guardian will increase to £2.50, while the Saturday Guardian and Sunday Observer will go up to £3.50.

Retail margins will also increase in line with the new prices, to Monday to Friday Guardian 55p; Saturday Guardian 77p, and Sunday Observer 85.7p.

NFRN national president, Stuart Reddish, said: “This is great news. When publishers put the prices of their titles up, there is always a danger that retailers will suffer because of reduced profits, but it is pleasing to see that GNM and News UK recognise the efforts of independent retailers to keep the news trade going during what has been an unprecedented and extremely difficult year for our industry.”
