About this episode
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.
