On July 6, 2016, Gannett, the nation's biggest newspaper chain, paid the Borgs $40 million for North Jersey Media Group (The Record of Woodland Park, Herald News, NorthJersey.com, (201) magazine and 50 weeklies). Stephen A. Borg, publisher for a decade, oversaw the biggest downsizing ever. Local news declined, errors mounted and most employees were denied raises. Gannett replaced Editor Deirdre Sykes, revised The Record's website and redesigned the print edition, cutting another 350-plus jobs.

Did you see this in The Record?
Here's a Hackensack story that hasn't been reported in The Record of Woodland Park. It appears on Jerry DeMarco's cliffviewpilot.com. The link is below.
This "story" on Cliffview Pilot is not a story. It's a soapbox DeMarco gave to a former co-worker who was pissed off about the officiating in games involving her son and nephew. A mom pissed off at football referees? That's a story????
The legitimicy of her views isn't the issue. Parents who complain about the playing time their kids recieve or who think the refs or coaches aren't doing their job are dime a dozen. The issue is why highlight the concerns of one parent? Maybe because the parent is a pal of DeMarco, since they worked together at the Record years ago. You can't throw this so-called "story" up to the Record and imply the Record was wrong for not having it. There is no story here. This is a favor DeMarco paid to a pissed-off mom he used to work with.
