Anthony Ferraro

Anthony Ferraro was born in Hackensack, raised in Paramus, and somehow ended up back in Hackensack. Italian-American, his family owned a deli in Lodi for forty years. A Rutgers journalism grad, he spent twenty-five years at the Star-Ledger covering everything from Trenton to crime to Hurricane Sandy. He took a buyout and started Jersey Ledger because he couldn't stop working and couldn't stand watching Jersey journalism disappear. He lives in Hackensack with his wife. He believes New Jersey deserves better coverage than 'weird news from the turnpike state.'
