In October 2023, we unveiled our landmark report on the challenging state of local media in South Jersey, and we hosted two thought-provoking virtual roundtables featuring both current and former journalists dedicated to sparking change. In the past 18 months, our local media landscape has experienced significant shifts:

 

• The Star-Ledger shutting down

• Layoffs at NJ PBS and The Press of Atlantic City

• The Legislature adopting a new public notices law

• NJ Advance Media leveraging generative AI for reporting

• Continued growth of hyperlocal new media organizations

 

Please join us on May 4—or access the discussion on-demand at your convenience—for a vibrant virtual roundtable where we'll review recent developments and explore both the promising opportunities and the challenges facing South Jersey local media. We are proud to partner with Triax57, a forward-thinking multimedia organization based in Egg Harbor Township that is redefining local television coverage to better serve South Jersey residents.

 

We invite you to be an active part of this conversation. Submit your questions and thoughts in advance so our expert panel can address your interests and insights.

Let’s come together to chart a new course for local media in South Jersey. Your voice matters, and we’re eager to hear your thoughts.
