The Star-Ledger was a daily broadsheet newspaper based in Newark, New Jersey published beginning in 1832. The newspaper ceased its print side on February 2, 2025, and continues to publish a digital edition.
In 2007, The Star-Ledger's daily circulation was reportedly more than the next two largest New Jersey newspapers combined, and its Sunday circulation was larger than the next three papers combined. In the years following, it suffered great declines in print circulation, to 180,000 daily in 2013, then to 114,000 in 2015.
In July 2013, the paper announced that it would sell its headquarters building in Newark. In the same year, owner Advance Publications announced it was exploring cost-saving changes among its New Jersey properties, but was not considering mergers or changes in publication frequency at any of the newspapers, nor the elimination of home delivery. On February 2, 2025, daily print operation ceased, but online coverage continued.
The Star-Ledger is a sister paper to The Times of Trenton and the South Jersey Times both of which are also owned by Advance Publications, headquartered at One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan.
