That said, I’m going to soapbox a bit: I think it would have been nice if the title of the article said it was a price increase. Vague titles for bad news are standard in corporate communications, but to me they feel… obfuscatory. Perhaps the goal is to set an apologetic or personal tone, but I think it better respects the reader’s time to make the title a useful summary of the article.
But this is basically just an aesthetic preference of mine; I wouldn’t be surprised if others see things differently. I’m not claiming that my time was wasted: I would have read the article either way. :)
