The Sun is planning to charge readers of its Polish-language Euro 2008 edition 50 pence, higher than its charges from regular readers, the Guardian reported Thursday.
The News International red-top plans to print between 50,000 to 75,000 copies of each of the six planned Polish-language editions. This publication, beginning June 7, will complete with a page three girl fro Poland, throughout the Euro 2008 football tournaments.
It is "great value for money," according to Graham Dudman, the Sun's managing editor, who confirmed the price change for the Polish edition.
According to Dudman, “Each edition of the Polish Sun will be packed full of exclusive Polish news stories, big interviews, celebrity gossip and unrivalled sports coverage of the Polish team taking part in the Euro 2008 Championships and of course not forgetting a Polish page three girl.”
“The paper is being produced by some of Poland's finest journalists working with their new colleagues in Wapping. The paper will be in Polish for a Polish audience and we reckon 50 pence a copy is a great value for money especially when you compare our Saturday cover price of 55 pence,” he added.
The Sun charges readers different prices within different parts of the country for its English edition, the Guardian reported.
London and the southeast readers are given a discount price of 25 pence on weekdays, whereas in the rest of England and Wales it costs 35 pence on weekdays and 30 pence in Scotland.
The Saturday edition costs 55 pence across the UK.
The Polish editions of the Sun will be sold in newsagents as well as in about 250 specially-chosen Tesco stores, the largest sellers of Polish goods.
The Sun's Polish editions will be published on June 7, 12, and 18 to preview Poland's group stage matches in Euro 2008.
On June 9, 13, and 19 the other Polish editions will offer match reports on the Poland games.
