The Trentonian is a daily newspaper serving
Trenton, New Jersey, New Jersey, USA, and the surrounding Mercer County, New Jersey community. The paper has a daily circulation of slightly more than 30,000 and a Sunday circulation of less than 28,000. Its editorial tone is considered American conservatism in nature New Jersey Insider: Newspapers, accessed
July 12,
2006.
The paper is owned by the
Journal Register Company, a media company headquartered in Yardley, Pennsylvania, specializing in
newspaper publishing, that owns 22 daily and 344 non-daily newspapers mainly in the north-eastern United States. The company is also reported to be some $726.3 million in debt.
The Trentonian was known as a fiesty, gritty tabloid from its start in 1946 when 40 members of the International Typographic Union broke away from the Trenton Times to start their own paper.
When the Washington Post bought the Times in 1975, Katharine Graham vowed to make Trenton a one-paper town. She reportedly would later admit that Trenton was her "Waterloo."
The Trentonian consistently covers less local news than its competitors. In fact, the Trenton tabloid has cut its editorial staff so much in the last two years that it produces very little of its own local news. Because of staff cuts, even one of JRC's highly-paid vice presidents was pressed into menial newspaper duties such as typesetting obituaries, while
Trentonian publisher
William T. Murray, known as Bill, returns to the office at midnight to help proof copy, and serves as his own secretary.
The book
Tabloid From Hell details what the author considers to be the decline of
The Trentonian, with much of the blame directed at Robert M. Jelenic, JRC's president, whom the author says spent too much time on discipline and trivial matters, not enough on quality journalism. A Mary Walton interview in
American Journalism Review was also critical of Jelenic.
JRC posted a press release on its Web site on June 8, 2007 to announce that Jelenic would be taking a leave of absence to battle cancer. This is the second time the CEO has temporarily stepped aside because of cancer treatment. James W. Hall was named acting CEO.
Awards and recognition
The
1974 Pulitzer Prize for Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing was awarded to F. Gilman Spencer, editor of the
Trentonian, "for his courageous campaign to focus public attention on scandals in New Jersey's state government". The Pulitzer Board Presents: The Pulitzer Prize Winners 1974 - Journalism, accessed November 27,
