“Every day, every minute, we used to think, how do we help our child?”

It takes incredible bravery and strength for parents to tell the story of their child's suicide. This is the story of a gay teen and a devastated family left behind.

I spent more than a year reporting on Taylor Provisions and its strange, secretive history.

The company that makes Taylor ham stretches back to 1856, and its history now includes: an affair, reclusive characters, allegations of wiretapping and more.

Holy sharks! We just dropped a must-see feature on the history and future of sharks at the Jersey Shore — including video from a real shark attack. Great stuff from @realAdamClark @AndreMalok @AndyMills_NJ @TheJRob and others.

My amazing colleagues @AndreMalok and @AndyMills_NJ have stolen the show again.

If you love the Jersey Shore, their visuals for this shark story are must see.

What do you do when the state seizes your Groundhog Day groundhog?

Read the story of Milltown Mel, a magical rise, a stunning fall and a possibly impossible quest to save Groundhog Day in small-town New Jersey.

Can anyone save Groundhog Day in Milltown?

Inside the possibly impossible quest to replace Milltown Mel, the fallen groundhog of Jerseys' "greatest little town."

Must-read story from @realAdamClark: A N.J. man was strangled to death. But who’s really to blame? This piece will leave you shaken and angry. https://t.co/flqUNoq4CG

"The freakin’ horse is on the field. I don’t know what the hell’s going on."

The Rutgers horse mascot was penalized 30 years ago this week, nearly costing his team the game. His inner circle believes the true story can restore his good name.

The tireless reporting of @MattStanmyre has already resulted in two staffers being placed on leave and pledges to slash salaries, as lawmakers call for further investigation of possible criminal and financial wrongdoing. Such a privelege to work with a reporter this good.

“I just assume there are tens of thousands of kids not even slipping through the cracks — just being pushed off the edge.”

This is Sophia's story, our latest portrait of the mental health crisis.

Chris Fuson walked into the bathroom an unassuming man who needed to relieve himself. He walked out on the pathway to a religious experience.

Can a little country newspaper live forever?

This is The Elmer Times vs. the journalistic end of times. A story of loyalty, community and beating impossible odds in rural South Jersey.

The stranger in the chat box is terrified they’re going to hurt themselves.

They even have a date in mind.

Tomorrow.

What happens next could be the difference between life and death.

My latest and hardest-hitting investigation: After a Jersey Shore boardwalk game operator was given a 10-year ban in a basketball overinflation scandal, @sweilem_amira and I obtained and examined five years worth of violation notices. This was fun!

Parents said a school librarian was acting like a child predator. Now she's suing for defamation.

How today's culture wars lead to "the absolute vilification and dehumanization and liquidation of the other person.”

Porn and loathing in N.J.? How parents got sued by a ‘nice’ school librarian. https://t.co/fzEKFvvGpG
