[edit] History
It was started on May 2, 1867 as the Evening Journal. The newspaper's first offices were at 13 Exchange Place with a reported initial capitalization of $119. The building at Journal Square opened in 1925, designed by John T. Rowland, Jr.; a native of Jersey City.[2]
[edit] Threat of closure
On February 2, 2009, the Jersey Journal announced that the paper (along with its sister weekly papers in Hudson County), would close on April 13, 2009, if the papers' "revenue is not sufficient to support the papers' reduced expense plan." Its weekly Spanish-language publication, El Nuevo Hudson, folded after the February 26 edition.[3] As of April 28, 2009, the Jersey Journal is still in publication.

"The Jersey Journal, flagship publication of The Evening Journal Association, covers New Jersey's Hudson County, a diverse, densely populated and exciting area with one of world's best views: the Manhattan skyline. The conveniently sized tabloid paper does community journalism right, as numerous awards from regional and state associations attest. Its focus on the highs and lows of everyday urban life gives it the edge in a media-saturated area."
