The parent company of The Jersey Journal says the Hudson County daily newspaper may cease publication in April if revenue does not improve.
Executives of the Evening Journal Association told newspaper employees Monday that April 13 would be the final publication day if revenue is not enough to support the paper's reduced expense plans.
The company says it may also discontinue publication of its weekly newspapers serving Bayonne, West Hudson and Secaucus.
In a statement quoted on The Jersey Journal Web site, Publisher Kendrick Ross said he is optimistic that a plan can be developed to save the daily and some of the weeklies, while positioning the company for growth as the economy rebounds.
Company executives did not immediately return telephone messages Monday.
The company announced Friday that Feb. 26 will be the final edition of its free Spanish-language weekly, El Nuevo Hudson.
