It’s been a big year for local journalism and storytelling here in New Jersey. What started as a digital platform spotlighting the state’s business, culture, and innovation scene has quickly grown into a go-to source for in-depth reporting–and now, it’s even hitting the highway with a billboard to celebrate its first anniversary.
At the same time, New Jersey’s film and entertainment industry is booming, with major productions grabbing headlines–but the real story goes far beyond the big studios, driving growth for small businesses and communities across the state. From the recent New Jersey Film Expo to major economic drivers like UFC events in Newark, there’s a lot shaping the Garden State right now.
Joining us to break it all down is Tom Bergeron, Owner and Editor of BINJE.
