  • 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.
