Advance nixes NJ papers

Print is good enough for The Plain Dealer.

 

Harrisburg prints three days a week, although you wouldn't notice it. The paper is constructed in Edison, NJ, by people who never learned about headline counts.

 

I think the Staten Island Advance is printed at the NJ plant that will close. But nothing so far on the future of the Advance.

 

Story doesn’t provide context. Anyone know what this referred to?

Its front pages typically display a dash of irreverence ― large, cheeky headlines intended to grab commuters racing past a newsstand on their way to catch PATH, the light rail or a bus. (“Sex … fries, & ‘punch in the nose’” is a longtime favorite Journal head.)

 

Spnited weeps.

 

Gonna ensure something small but very important is missing from an inevitable Sopranos reboot.

 

If AL.com is any indication, the patient is near death already. Two and a half good columnists who occasionally do great investigative work. And all of this nearly drowns in a sea of sports coverage that somehow manages to be overwhelming and shallow at the same time, plus warmed over press releases, recycled feature stories and a cops reporter who leans more towards stenographer.

 

It's "popular" because it spits out clickbait by the truckload.

 

You don't like Repeat Pete's Top 10 sub shops/taco stands/hot dog trucks lists? There is no end to the recycling of lists.

 

Only Alabama and NJ have made/are making the move online (to this point). New Orleans is no longer an Advance property. The others (Michigan, Cleveland, Harrisburg, Syracuse, Portland, Staten Island) still print, albeit not necessarily seven days a week. Syracuse still prints all seven days, but it is home delivered on only three of them. Staten Island will still print but will now be printed in Harrisburg instead of Edison, meaning earlier deadlines.

 

This is the same company that owns MassLive.com and a few papers in Western Massachusetts?

MassLive has a good sports section for some reason.

 

Advance does own MassLive. I believe that's a union shop and produced independently of the other papers in the chain.
