Answer:

A shift to the right of the demand curve can be caused by any factor other than price that increases the willingless of consumers to purchase a product of service (in this case newspapers).

Two other events can result in a shift to the right of the demand curve for newspapers:

  • Local elections are held in Baltimore - when local elections are held, people become more interested in following local news in order to decide their vote, therefore, they are willing to purchase more newspapers.
