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.

Correction
In my previous post, I incorrectly attributed the Hackensack story that leads the Local section today to Monsy Alvarado, the woman assigned to cover River City. In fact, it was reported and written by Shawn Boburg, her cellmate on the nearly three-year probe of former lawman Michael Mordaga (see post, "This will come back to haunt us, 12/23/09"). Sorry. I just didn't look at the byline.
On Tuesday, an Englewood story was reported and written by Nick Clunn, who is not the usual reporter covering that city. Unfortunately, Clunn forgot to report a crucial detail about the middle school there -- that it's segregated. In Boburg's story, the address of the building being discussed is omitted.
