On a cold winter's day, Jan. 25, 2009, NewJerseyNewsroom.com was founded when over 40 journalists came together at the Montclair Public Library and decided to create a news site — unlike any other — to address the growing journalism void. All we possessed was determination, experience and vision.
Despite a lack of financial backing, we pushed forward and a unique news organization was born. Our news organization invites everyone to join the mission of telling stories important to the people of New Jersey. Tell stories that shine a light on the dark places. This is journalism not funded by or beholden to corporations or wealthy individuals. We aim for a balanced, insightful take on the news and our goal is to provide a fresh, independent voice.

The majority of our founding journalists spent decades at The Star-Ledger of Newark. Combined, our experience adds up to over 1,000 years. We have won every award and distinction from the Pulitzer Prize to the New Jersey Press Association Journalist of the Year. Our contributing writers, driven by passion and purpose, contribute as volunteers who believe in the cause.
Their experiences are impressive, and without them we would fail.
NewJerseyNewsroom.com's goal is to provide high-quality news for New Jerseyans and not just about New Jerseyans. We will do our best to gather all the stories you want, regardless of the original sources. If it is of interest to you, we will write it or link to it.
