Letter from the Editor: Our popular coronavirus text updates are now available with an NJ.com subscription
Updated Feb 04, 2021;
Ten months ago, we had an idea: Make regular updates on the coronavirus pandemic available via text to any reader who signed up.
This extra service – Subtext is the platform – was 100% free and the response was overwhelming. At peak, we had a direct, one-on-one relationship with more than 73,000 of you. It has been a true partnership that has allowed us to exchange ideas and information directly with you, our readers.
You shared questions that we asked Gov. Murphy. You applauded our reporting. You pointed out our mistakes. And you even shared Netflix recommendations. On our side, editors and reporters provided links, resources and the latest information – including where to get a test and how to sign up for the vaccine.
Best of Rutgers: NJ.com writers pick their favorite stories of 2020
Updated Dec 30, 2020;
2020 wasn’t without its share of storylines on the Rutgers sports beat.
From the rebirth of the Rutgers football program in the first season of Greg Schiano’s second go-around to the improbable rise of the men’s basketball team under Steve Pikiell, NJ Advance Media’s team of reporters was there every step of the way to deliver the news from the best that the Scarlet Knights had to offer.
In October, just when the college sports world was waking up from a six-month hibernation caused by the coronavirus pandemic, we launched Rutgers Sports Insider a subscription-based service that delivers fans breaking news, exclusive behind-the-scenes reporting and hundreds of feature stories for $5.99 per month or $59.99 for a full year.
