Misery survey: Cherry Hill pulls ahead of the pack

As Gannett reportedly pushes buyouts today across its troubled New Jersey newspaper group, the Courier-Post at Cherry Hill, N.J., has moved into the pole position in my reader-suggested survey, seeking the most miserable among the state's six papers. But it's not too late to vote! The survey closes at midnight, Sunday; see the poll box at the bottom of the green sidebar, right. Monday, I'll announce the winner of what I'm calling the first-ever Frank E. Gannett Memorial Misery Loves Company Award.

A breakdown of the 94 responses so far to the question: The most miserable N.J. paper is . . .
  • Asbury Park: 20%
  • Bridgewater: 24%
  • Cherry Hill: 29%
  • East Brunswick: 11%
  • Morristown: 4%
  • Vineland: 9%
Note: Figures don't total 100 because of rounding.
