  • Layoffs in Local Newsrooms: Documenting the Changing New Jersey Local Journalism Ecosystem, 2016-2017
    March 17, 2017 Layoffs in Local Newsrooms: Documenting the changing New Jersey local journalism ecosystem, 2016-2017 By the Center for Cooperative Media The School of Communication and Media Montclair State University Principal investigator: Sarah Stonbely Summary New Jersey saw significant cuts to its journalism corps in 2016. This was primarily due to the acquisition of North Jersey Media Group by Gannett Co. and ensuing layoffs, although other media organizations contracted as well. This report seeks to document the North Jersey layoffs, and to provide more detail about who and what was lost to the local journalism ecosystem in the process. For example, in a small survey of laid-off journalists conducted in December 2016, we find that nearly half had more than 20 years of experience covering local communities. We also ask the most important question: what impact did these layoffs have on the news and information provided by these outlets? In a comparison of four newspapers before and after the takeover, we find clear evidence of decreases in substantive community news and information. We conclude with strategic recommendations for interventions and strengthening the local journalism ecosystem. 1 I. Introduction: The scope of recent New Jersey newsroom layoffs, and some historical context In recent months, there have been significant layoffs in New Jersey newsrooms, primarily as a result of the acquisition of North Jersey Media Group by Gannett Co. In July 2016, Gannett bought North Jersey Media Group, which includes The (Bergen) Record, North ​ ​ New Jersey’s largest paper, as well as many other media assets. Gannett purchased the newspaper and associated outlets from the Borg family, which had run The Record since 1930.

  • The Role of the Media in New Jersey's 2005 and 2009
    THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN NEW JERSEY’S 2005 AND 2009 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS By RICHARD A. LEE A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – New Brunswick Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Communication, Information and Library Studies written under the direction of Professor Montague Kern And approved by _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN NEW JERSEY’S 2005 AND 2009 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS By RICHARD A. LEE Dissertation Director: Montague Kern During the first decade of the 21st Century, two developments affected the manner in which New Jersey residents obtained news and information about their state. The size of newsroom staffs at the newspapers covering the state was reduced substantially through buyouts, layoffs, cutbacks and consolidations, and the growth of the Internet altered the manner in which news was gathered, reported and disseminated, placing new demands on depleted news staffs. Although neither development was unique to New Jersey, there is a value in exploring their effects on the Garden State because of the role the media play in ensuring a healthy democracy, namely keeping citizens informed and serving as a watchdog over government and other powerful entities. If the media’s ability to fulfill this responsibility is compromised, there could be significant consequences. ii A content analysis of the coverage of New Jersey’s 2005 and 2009 gubernatorial elections, coupled with three sets of interviews with individuals involved in both campaigns, showed that the quality of news coverage declined during this four-year period.

EIN 13−1038730 Name United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York Date case filed for chapter 11 3/27/17 Case number: 17−22445−rdd Official Form 309F (For Corporations or Partnerships) Notice of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case 12/15 For the debtor listed above, a case has been filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor's property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt. A creditor who wants to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk's office within the deadline specified in this notice. (See line 11 below for more information.) To protect your rights, consult an attorney.

What Every Media Buyer Should Know About Growing Their Business in The Garden State Sandwiched between two mega-DMAs (New York to the north and Philadelphia to the south), it is arguable that New Jersey’s 6.6+ million adults have more choices for news and information than any other state in the country. Despite that fact, or perhaps because of it, New Jersey newspapers’ print and online products deliver a market reach that is unmatched by TV, radio, and other Internet sites. Here are some facts that any business professional should consider before advertising in New Jersey: Newspaper Websites Have Unparalleled Reach! • 2.1 million New Jersey adults visit a website every week • Every week newspaper websites reach 44% of NJ college graduates and 40% of households with income over $150K • 36% of all Internet users visited a newspaper site in November 2006 Newspaper Brands Are A Trusted Local Source! • 71% of New Jersey adults trust newspaper brands for local “hometown” news • 73% of New Jersey adults prefer newspaper brands for their local shopping information • Nearly two-thirds of New Jersey consumers rely on newspaper brands for information related to purchases New Jersey Stays Connected! • 71% of New Jersey residents accessed the Internet this month and 54% accessed yesterday • Newspaper websites are an important online destination for online readers with nearly one-third of all adults visiting every week • New Jersey newspaper websites have a 43% statewide monthly reach, compared with the nationwide average of 20% Newspapers Deliver a Powerful Print + Online Combo! • 86% of New Jersey adults read a newspaper in print or online every week Source: 2006 New Jersey Statewide Market Study, Conducted by Belden Associates.
