| | Life Inside the Newark Evening News as Recalled by William Gordon |
 | | The Newark Evening News, which dominated the New Jersey newspaper publishing scene before its demise on August 31, 1972, was considered the New York Times of New Jersey. |
 | | At the end of 2003, a former veteran Newark News reporter, William Gordon, who worked in the Newark News Market Street building for a dozen years, retired from a resumed newspaper career with the Star-Ledger, and, with his retirement, wrote a retrospective of his long journalistic career. |
 | | At the time of Gordon's transfer to the News rewrite desk, the Newark News was unique among New Jersey papers who required reporters at the scene of a breaking story to dictate their story in finished form to the rewrite desk, consisting of six writers, who would prepare it for publication. |
