NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey’s largest newspaper says it is cutting about 170 jobs, including 25 percent of its newsroom positions, as it moves to consolidate operations and cut costs.

The Star-Ledger reports on NJ.com that the cuts will mean the loss of 40 of the 156 newsroom staffers.

The announcement comes a week after Advance Publications announced it will consolidate news operations in New Jersey, including its online site, as it seeks to reduce costs in a rapidly changing industry.
