GPS is responsible for printing, distribution and other services for Gannett's 82 U.S. newspapers, including the Courier News, the Home News Tribune and the Asbury Park Press. As usual, the corporate-speak memo points a finger at difficulties in advertising sales, especially what is called 'national' advertising.
Newswise, the Courier is such a shadow of its former self that I almost hesitate to plunk down the 6 bits it costs. The online version suffers from light postings of locally written pieces and lots of AP 'filler'.
If you select the 'News' view of the front page, you will find the same stories headlined for the Courier's supposed 'regions' and these stay up for days.
Meanwhile, there's plenty happening everywhere around us.
Thank God for Plainfield's blogging community's pitching in!

Dan: amen to your thank you to local bloggers. Mark Spivey does his best, but two (2) reporters covering Union, Middlesex, Somerset and Hunterdon counties? I was hired by The Courier, then on Church Street in Plainfield, to cover Piscataway and South Plainfield; Hollis Burke had the 2nd best news job, North Plainfield; and Jack Gill was number one, in a number of senses, covering Plainfield. Travesty.
