The New York Times newspaper will increase its daily newsstand price by 25 cents, to $1.50, effective Aug. 18, Janet L. Robinson, the president and chief executive, announced in a conference call with analysts. The company had already announced a 4.5percent subscription price increase that begins this month. It raised both subscription and newsstand prices in July 2007. The company, like the entire newspaper industry, continues to be battered by the economic downturn and the long-term shift of readers and advertisers from print to the Internet.

The move comes a week after The Wall Street Journal said it would boost its newsstand price by 50 cents to $2 starting July 28 to reflect both new content and higher costs.
