Two longstanding New York City area newspapers, including one immortalized in "The Sopranos," are vanishing from newsstands, leaving Jersey City without printed news as media struggle against nationwide headwinds.
Across the river from New York, the fate of New Jersey's Star-Ledger -- read by fictional mob boss Tony Soprano -- and The Jersey Journal is leaving locals without a physical paper and some journalists, paperboys and printers without jobs.
The Star-Ledger is going online-only and The Jersey Journal is closing up shop altogether, reports NJ.com, which posts content from both, among other outlets. NJ Advance Media owns The Jersey Journal, The Star-Ledger and N.J.com.
In a Thursday press briefing, President Trump criticized his predecessor for his management of the Federal Aviation Administration and suggested, without evidence, that diversity initiatives at the agency could be to blame for a deadly crash between a passenger plane and an Army helicopter in Washington, D.C.
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
