If they reported the news fairly maybe they'd would not have such problems. I will rejoice the day they say they are folding. They brought it on themselves. Shoddy journalism at its best! The jobs of 34 Star-Ledger employees — including nearly 10 percent of the newsroom — are being eliminated in the first large-scale layoffs in the history of the state’s largest daily newspaper, publisher Richard Vezza said this morning. Eighteen part- and full-time staffers in The Star-Ledger's newsroom of 195 employees are expected to be laid off today, along with 16 positions in other departments. The totals include 19 full-time employees and 15 part-time positions. In a letter posted shortly after 8 a.m. today throughout the newspaper's Newark offices, Vezza called it a difficult day, and blamed the dramatic cuts on continuing financial pressures and the lingering effects of Hurricane Sandy, in an industry already hard hit by a steady decline in readership and sinking ad revenues. At the same time, Vezza, in his letter, said the newspaper has been talking with its production unions, whose contracts expire this summer, seeking significant savings in production costs. He said The Star-Ledger was also considering the possibility of outsourcing the printing and packaging of the newspaper.
