Did anyone notice that The New York Times completely overlooked the $32.9 billion budget adopted by the state legislature on Monday?
Despite its run-up to the grand event, nary a mention could be found on its inside pages or in the Metro section.
Even our Philly neighbors at the Inky gave front-page coverage to the state's budget passage. In fact, the story ran front-page-lead in every major daily -- that's if you don't count local papers like The Daily Record and Burlington County Times.
So what gives? At least one of our readers wondered if the departure of David Chen has orphaned the Jersey-side coverage. Perhaps ... but the NYT also came up short when it came to last year's budget reporting.

Puzzled
Why wouldn't you count The Daily Record or Burlington County Times? They're the major papers for their counties and members of the Gannett NJ family. Or do the more rural parts of New Jersey not count?
Advertising is on the skids
NYT is losing revenues as the print media business is fading. They are reducing staff and coverage accordingly. Sad part is that their NJ readers really could care less about NJ.
Smallville ledger- all the news fit to print
I did notice the extensive coverage given the budget in Sunday's edition of the Smallville ledger
Conspiracy! Its because the
Conspiracy! Its because the right wing NYT doesn't want to admit that Gov. Corzine's destructive budget plan might be effective
