Local news
Norman's venture should succeed, judging by the dramatic decline in local news in The Record since an initial newsroom downsizing in 2008.
That was followed in 2009 by the move of the paper and North Jersey Media Group to Woodland Park from Hackensack,where the Borg family had prospered for more than 110 years.
Gannett, which bought NJMG last July, has cut more than 350 jobs since November, and moved production of the redesigned print edition of The Record to Neptune.
That's the township on the Jersey shore, not the planet.
