I used to buy it for the sports section and coupons. Now the coupons come in the mail and I can print them off of the computer . The sports......whatever.
I remember 15 cents during the week and 35 cents for Sunday
Bac , what are those % numbers I keep seeing you post ? 😁
Its dying a slow death like the BLM violence .
Think that was the rate when I had my paper route circa 1980/1981
I think every new Jerseyite should subscribe for that $ 100+ per year... quality and fair blogging... none are writers or reporters... $6 ??? ... for garbage... biased ... stories ... when they post equal for all sides.... then and ONLY then...
Back in the 70s I delivered athe Daily Advance. 15 cents a day. Most people gave me a buck for the week on collection day.
Example from today’s StarLiar: Cities are hotter due to “ racism “ ... but to read this blog or editorial BS you need to subscribe... newspapers can’t die out quick enough...
That's too expensive even for emergency toilet paper.
Sunday fall sports sections used to the best . All the stories from the big college games and all your high school games . Baseball stories . Then the previews of all the nfl games. .
Was ....that’s the key... nowhere near the writing quality and variety of topics...
Completely agree. At one point the SL was the go to paper for this.
It‘s a shame it not going to survive. Newspapers is the only real source for local news. Many wouldn’t have known the salary for policemen and teachers if it wasn’t published in the newspaper. A lot of the problems with police dept, schools, and local government won’t be exposed.
Board of education will be able to pass anything they want since most people were be aware of it.
I did enjoy reading the a Sunday Star Ledger for 25 cents.

They also used to have a great all county and all state hs sports selections with all state having sketched pics of the athletes. And they did 1st, 2nd and 3rd teams.
It's not a shame, and there are plenty of sources for local news. For example, in Monmouth County, we have the weekly Coast Star, which does an outstanding job on local news for the South Monmouth towns, and up in the Rumson/Middletown area, there is the Two River Times. There are also blogs like Red Bank Green, covering Red Bank and surrounding areas. Then there is patch.com, which does a great job of doing stories of interest.
The Asbury Park Press used to do a solid job on local news, but it is terrible now. Their "reporting" of fires usually consists of them giving a report from exactly what has been posted local fire department's social media page.
The Bergen Record use to a good newspaper but when USA Today brought it it basically give 90% national news.
Those other newspapers you mention are probably small, never hear of them and has a very small staff of lowly paid reporters, if any. The small free weekly newspaper I don’t even consider a newspaper.

Read the SL sports section everyday growing up and loved the Sunday edition during the football season.
It's garbage now. The best content has been cut over the years and now it's worthless.

In this day an age by the time the story/information physically gets to print it's almost always already old news.
It's the world we live in now.
Part of the reason for all the mistakes we see in print now is the attempt to keep up with digital. Can't be done.
Less mistakes can (which is on them), but not the speed of delivery.
And the small papers you poo poo do provide exactly what you're saying will be gone if something like the Star Ledger goes under.
Looking good. Keep up the good work on getting the truth out. The truth shall set the diaper faces free .

The truth like 205,000? Yup that's why the majority of real Americans are appalled.
Good job china and murphy. Knighty crawl back under your bed a virus is looking for you. Oh and don't forget your face diaper.
Being cavalier about 205,000 Americans dying and untold numbers suffering?
Crawl back in your hole.
