Star-Ledger ending print edition and closing production facility in 2025

6. During the glory days

I was there from 1980 thru early 1987. They were still in expansion mode. New color presses, going digital, targeted editions, a great newsroom. They were printing money too. Not every year was great but there were profit sharing plans and it was very employee friendly.

I started in marketing but moved over to a growing Information Technology side.

There was such pride among everyone who worked there.

I got out just in time. Things started to go downhill not long after I left..

Hard to believe the building itself is gone. The younger generation Borgs were(are) awful humans. They just wanted to suck every dollar out of the company. I think the paper sold for only $35-40 million (still not bad) but they owned the property and no doubt made a new fortune redeveloping it.
