The Star-Ledger, and sister publications will end print editions in February. Our president @PKBNews is quoted in @Gothamist about it. "He said local outlets are crucial in a state underserved by major-market outlets in Philadelphia and New York." https://t.co/vGS9pAcL91

Your leaders with @TheNJSPJ covering a wild scene in Camden last night. Also, shoutout to @MLBURNEY, who is also my @nabjphilly veep, for staying on a very tough situation involving the president of the Camden school advisory board. #NewJersey

Michael Aron took NJ’s political pulse for 40 years, speaking with governors, Senate presidents, Assembly speakers, U.S. senators and chief justices. He left us with this mantra: “Remember, if you’re a reporter — New Jersey never lets you down.” https://t.co/KWWXSMFEYO

[Melanie Burney @MLBURNEY]

Rest well Michael Aron. He always treated me well when I was on Press Row at the statehouse. A class act.

[P. Kenneth Burns @PKBNews]

The Garden State is a better informed, smarter place thanks to Michael Aron. We all will miss him.

[P. Kenneth Burns @PKBNews]

For myself, I remember watching his reporting online when I lived in Maryland. They were concise, detailed and informative. It’s clear why he was the dean among the state house press corps. (3/4)

[P. Kenneth Burns @PKBNews]

It is not cliche in this instance to say that he was the gold standard when it comes to covering politics and government in our state. Whether you were just starting your career or are a veteran, he was what every reporter aims to be: accurate, fair and professional. (2/4)

[P. Kenneth Burns @PKBNews]

🧵On behalf of the New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists (@TheNJSPJ,) we offer our thoughts and prayers to the family of Michael Aron, his friends, and all who have been lucky to call him a colleague. (1/4)

[New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists @TheNJSPJ]

We offer our sympathies to @tmj4 to the lost of their colleague Sean O'Flaherty, who was born in N.J. and left for Wisconsin for an education and what would be his only employer. His career is legendary. https://t.co/e1K9DWV6CB

[New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists @TheNJSPJ]

From our President @PKBNews, regarding the release of @WSJ reporter and N.J. Native Evan Gershkovich: “We are relieved to know that Evan Gershkovich is a free man from an unjust conviction in a rigged court trial.” More ===> https://t.co/PhqJuIHYzt #IStandWithEvan

[New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists @TheNJSPJ]

We cannot possibly CONDEMN the sham that is the conviction of Evan Gershkovich any louder. We do so in the strongest possible terms. Our government needs to do what it can to secure his freedom.

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

Yesterday, hundreds of thousands in NJ voted against corruption in our politics, sending a clear signal they are fed up with back room deals and favors for the few. In order to have accountability and ultimately trust, we must have transparency. This law moves us backwards and as a result lessens credibility and trust. I am so disappointed to see this signed today.

Thinking back to this Tweet as @GovMurphy signs the OPRA overhaul bill.
