Editor&Publisher: Star-Ledger to outsource local news to new service
February 18th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Job losses, Newspapers
The US paper will partner an as yet unestablished news service, being created by former Star-Ledger managing editor Rick Everett, for local news coverage.
The new organisation is expected to hire around 30 reporters, including college students. The collaboration will boost the paper’s coverage after it lost 151 newsroom staff last year.
