Bring the original format back to the Bergen Record Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/bring-the-original-format-back-to-the-bergen-record.html Online petition signatures en-us Sat, 4 Apr 2026 09:19 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Barbara Francois [Signature #428] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/24236428?utm_medium=rss I just found this online. Better late than never. The former award winning Record has indeed become the stuff of supermarket rags. How can we be an informed electorate if there’s no information ?

There are no box scores and very few articles on local teams, of local relevance. The local news has also been winnowed down to the point that most stories can be found on the internet for free.

Overall, the changes made are an absolute fail. The paper is no longer worth subscribing to.
