It is the final farewell for one of the state's oldest news publications, The Jersey Journal, which has covered the ins and outs of Hudson County politics and news for 157 years, will print its final edition on Saturday.

The newspaper said it couldn't afford to remain in business following a decision by The Star-Ledger to close its production facility in Montville, which prints the Jersey Journal and several other newspapers.

The Journal's editor and publisher said online only news just wouldn't be enough to sustain the operation.

So it's shutting down for good.

And as I mentioned, those print versions of the ledger, those end on Sunday.

After that, the news reporting will be web only.

So that's on your phone, tablet or computer.

The rising costs of printing a newspaper, which at its peak in the late eighties and early nineties, printed some 450,000 copies daily, just couldn't keep up with the decline in readership.

Morning Coffee just won't be the same.
