Newly hired chief content officer of NJ.com (the website of several NJ papers including The Star-Ledger) Lamar Graham caused quite a stir among journalists last week by posting what he thought was a private message on Facebook announcing: “I’M HIRING! NJ.COM – New Jersey’s biggest digital news operation – is expanding.” Mr. Graham told the New York Times that the Facebook post was intended for his friends only, many of whom are journalists he worked with at Everyday Health and in a previous stint at Advance Publications.
Mr. Graham said in a later interview with Media Decoder, the site is only expanding its reporting capacity in parts of NJ where parent company Advance does not have a presence.
