MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN NEW JERSEY

Operating within the shadow of two massive out-of-state media hubs, the local press ecosystem has undergone heavy chain consolidation while maintaining historically significant regional dailies. Circulation is dominated by the Advance Publications-owned Newark Star Ledger, the largest daily paper, followed closely by Gannett properties like the Asbury Park Press and the Bergen County-based Record, as well as Lee Enterprises' Press of Atlantic City. Alongside these consolidated legacy broadsheets, an active specialty press serves specific demographics, highlighted by Spanish-language weeklies such as Ahora and cultural publications like Biz India.
