COVERAGE NOTE: Changes to North American Newsprint Coverage - Implementation

OAKLAND, CA, Apr. 26, 2019 (PPI Pulp & Paper Week) – As previously announced and following market consultation, Fastmarkets RISI has discontinued price assessments for 48.8 g/30 lb newsprint in PPI Pulp & Paper Week with effect from April 2019.

The following price series are no longer assessed:

  • Price ID 191         Newsprint 48.8 g/30 lb US East
  • Price ID 192         Newsprint 48.8 g/30 lb US West

The move follows a shift in North American newsprint markets towards lighter basis weights. Fastmarkets RISI has maintained assessments of 45 g/27.7 lb newsprint.
