Jonathan Salant covered Washington on behalf of Newark’s Star-Ledger for a decade. Now, the same elected officials he scrutinized are protesting the decision to eliminate his job.
“These D.C. correspondents provide an essential surveillance role in the national news ecology, sniffing out problems happening among the most powerful in the state,” Usher said. “Without them in this role, we aren’t talking about a hypothetical threat to functioning democracy but a real and present one.”And while nonprofits news outlets help to fill the gap, many don’t have the reach that even struggling legacy newspapers still have, Usher added.
“It takes a special breed to want to be a regional reporter because of all those challenges,” Grube said. “There’s a trapdoor underneath you that can open at any minute.” A past National Press Club president who won several journalism awards, Salant’s proudest journalism moment had nothing to do with writing about the seat of power. In early March 2020, he wrote a first-person story about his uncle’s funeral in New Jersey and what it was like “saying goodbye from 6 feet away” in the early days of the pandemic.
