History

North Jersey Media Group was formed in 2000 as an umbrella organization for all of the media interests of the Borg family, which acquired The Record—the second-largest newspaper in the state, in 1930, as well as the Herald News, and a network of 50 community newspapers that cumulatively generated $90 million per-year in revenue.[1][2]

On July 7, 2016, Gannett Company announced its intent to acquire North Jersey Media Group. Gannett also owns the Asbury Park Press, Courier News, Courier-Post, The Daily Journal, and the Home News Tribune.[3]
