NJ.com is a digital news content provider and website in New Jersey. According to a report in the New York Times in 2012, it was the largest provider of digital news in the state at the time.
NJ.com provides content for numerous publications including The Star-Ledger, The Times of Trenton, The Jersey Journal, South Jersey Times, The Hunterdon County Democrat, The Messenger-Gazette, The Warren Reporter, Independent Press, Suburban News, and Cranford Chronicle. It is owned by Advance Digital, an organization which owns twelve newspapers in the state. The site is operated by New Jersey On-Line LLC and was ranked by Alexa as 2,712th worldwide and 661st in the United States in May 2016. NJ.com's news reports are widely quoted by other news publications such as the New York Daily News, the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post, and other news organizations around the nation.
NJ.com is part of a general trend away from printed newspapers towards digital content; a report in USA Today in 2012 suggested that many newspaper readers were moving to digital websites such as NJ.com for local news. In 2012, its president was Matt Kraner. In 2016, its editors called on acting governor Chris Christie to resign from office, after a failed presidential campaign and Christie's controversial endorsement of Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. Advance Media is owned by the Newhouse family. According to a report in 2014, NJ.com was laying off some employees, although there were reports that staffing losses were being offset by hiring at NJ Advance Media.
