NJ Advance Media says it will continue to invest in local journalism and cutting-edge technologies.
The Star-Ledger will cease publishing a print newspaper and will close its Montville production facility in February 2025. The decision was made by the Star-Ledger’s owner, Newark Morning Ledger Co., due to rising costs, decreasing circulation and reduced demand for print., announced that it is ending print publication of dailies The Times of Trenton and the South Jersey Times, as well as the weekly Hunterdon County Democrat.
Alessi said that that ceasing print publication will allow NJ Advance Media to reallocate resources to strengthen its core newsroom. He said that the newsroom has more reporters than it did a year ago and has plans to continue to grow in 2025 as the organization looks to bolster reporting in previously under-covered areas of the state.
In August, the most recent month for which data is available, NJ.com ranked as the #1 local news site in the country, according to Comscore, a media measurement and analytics company. That month, the site had 15.2 million unique visitors, placing it even ahead of such national news brands as Wired, The Atlantic and Slate on Comscore’s rankings.
Star-Ledger leaders acknowledged that the changes will have a significant impact on existing employees of the company, as well as devoted readers of the company’s print products. “This decision was not made lightly, but the reality is that the print news model cannot be sustained,” said Wes Turner, an executive who works with The Star-Ledger.
