NJ.com is part of a general trend away from printed newspapers towards digital content; a report in USA Today in 2012 suggested that many newspaper readers were moving to digital websites such as NJ.com for local news. In 2012, its president was Matt Kraner. In 2016, its editors called on acting governor Chris Christie to resign from office, after a failed presidential campaign and Christie's controversial endorsement of Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. In return the editors received calls to resign from supporters of Donald Trump for biased coverage and editorializing news. Advance Media is owned by the Newhouse family. According to a report in 2014, NJ.com was laying off some employees, although there were reports that staffing losses were being offset by hiring at NJ Advance Media.
