The End of The Star-Ledger in Print

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 21, 2024

The Star-Ledger, the Pulitzer Prize-winning local New Jersey newspaper based in Newark, recently announced it will end print editions in 2025 and become an exclusively digital service. The news comes perhaps as no surprise as local print journalism continues to struggle financially around the country. But The Star-Ledger has played an important role in the history of New Jersey culture and politics as the state's largest newspaper. Nancy Solomon, WNYC senior reporter, gives us her reaction to the news, and we're also joined by Micah Rasmussen, director of The Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics.

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
