Who could’ve possibly seen this coming, Save Jerseyans?
On Wednesday, The Star-Ledger – New Jersey’s largest remaining print daily newspaper – announced that it will cease its print edition in early 2025:
“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.
In addition, Advance Local, which owns NJ Advance Media and NJ.com, 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. Online newspapers for The Star-Ledger, The Times of Trenton and South Jersey Times will continue to be produced seven days a week for subscribers. The online newspaper provides subscribers with 10+ exclusive daily pages of additional local and national content not found in the current printed newspaper.
The final print editions of the Star-Ledger, Times of Trenton and South Jersey Times will be published on Feb. 2, 2025. The final weekly print edition of the Hunterdon County Democrat will be published on Jan. 30, 2025, and its subscribers will have access to the Star-Ledger online newspaper.”
