Trentonian

Trentonian

"The Trentonian" is a daily newspaper serving Trenton, New Jersey, USA, and the surrounding Mercer County 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 conservative in nature. [http://www.njinsider.com/newspapers03.htm#The%20Trentonian New Jersey Insider: Newspapers] , accessed July 12, 2006.] In 2008, the newspaper's daily price increased 43 percent, from 35 cents to 50 cents.

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 in the United States.

"The Trentonian" began as a tabloid in 1946, when 40 members of the International Typographical 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."Fact|date=May 2008

The book [http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?r=1&ean=9780595224920 "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 former CEO, 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. [Walton, Mary.

Awards and recognition

The 1974 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".
