    futurejournalismproject: producermatthew: The newspaper La Bougie du Sapeur is well-known among French readers, despite having printed less than 10 issues over the past 22 years. The newspaper, which printed its ninth issue today, publishes once every four years — on a leap day. The paper prints 200,000 copies every four years for its subscribers. The cost of a subscription is 100 Euros for an entire century (or about 4 Euros an issue). [HuffPo] FJP: Brilliant.
