Hudson Dispatch

The Hudson Dispatch was a newspaper covering events in [Hudson] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_County%2C_New_Jersey] and [Bergen] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen_County%2C_New_Jersey] counties in Northern New Jersey. It published continuously from 1874 until 1991, when it was [purchased] [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0CE6DD103DF934A15753C1A967958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all] by the rival Jersey Journal.

The Hudson Dispatch was originally called the Harrison Dispatch, starting around 1874, started in East Newark, New Jersey by Trelease, Simonds & Company.

Starting in the late 1970s, the staff of the The Dispatch aggressively covered the notorious political corruption in Hudson and Bergen counties. A series of articles on the corrupt political practices in Union City, NJ, led to the conviction of William V. Musto, the city's mayor. During the same period other mayors and even a district attorney were prosecuted on corruption charges in part due to investigative journalism by the Dispatch.

The editorial staff working at The Dispatch during this period included (in alphabetical order) Bill Alpert, Shepard Barbash, Adrian Benepe, Winnie Bonelli, Frances Burns, Frank Brooks, Eileen Byrnes, Amy Chapman, Roman Cjazkowsky, Jim Consoli, Diane Curcio, Barbara Demick, Aleida Duran, Bill Dwyer, Viviana Fernandez, Mike Fistel, George Garneau, Raanan Geberer, Dick Goldensohn, Bill Gyves, Willie Hernandez, Douglas Lavin, Eric Linton, Steve Lieberman, Rick Maddock, Paul Moses, David Newman, John O'Neil, Joe Ruda, Nancy Siracusa, Chuck Sutton, Bill Slossar, and Bob Zeitlinger.

It was a local independent newspaper in Harrison, New Jersey, said to have started in East Newark by publisher Trelease, Simonds & Company. In 1877, the newspaper was sold to a printer who convinced the political leader and Hudson County Sheriff Robert "Bob" Davis to invest in the Dispatch. It moved to Jersey City in 1887, relocated to Union Hill (now Union City) in 1890 and finally took residence in the Dispatch Building at 400 Thirty-eight Street in Union City. As the Hudson Dispatch, the newspaper was noted for its investigative reporting of Hudson County politics and primarily served the communities of Union City, Weehawken, West New York and North Bergen. Sold to Media News Group of Houston in 1986, the Dispatch was taken over by its competitor, the Jersey Journal, in 1991. By that time the newspaper had been in existence for approximately 117 years, but its circulation had slipped to 30,000 and suffered from a loss of revenue and advertising. Mindful of the Dispatch's journalistic tradition in the county, the Jersey Journal for a while printed the Hudson Dispatch logo along with its own name on its masthead. |publisher=New Jersey City University]
