- Europe on 82 cents a Week
- </hdr>
- <body>
- <p> What's black and white and yellow and blue and read all over
- Europe? British press baron Robert Maxwell hopes the answer to
- that riddle will soon be the European. Two years after
- announcing his intention to launch a Continent-wide newspaper,
- Maxwell will be bringing out the first issue on May 11. It will
- sell for the equivalent of 82 cents U.S. a copy in European
- capitals.
- </p>
- <p> Like the International Herald Tribune, that fixture of
- Continental newsstands, the European will be in English. Unlike
- its upscale competitor, Maxwell's paper will aim for the mass
- market, complete with eye-catching four-color photos.
- </p>
- <p> Maxwell had originally planned a daily with 650,000
- circulation. Instead, the European will be a weekly, and
- advertisers have been promised a circulation of 225,000. If the
- paper catches on, a daily European may be in the offing, as
- well as editions in other languages.
