I don't understand NJN


I don't understand their opening sequence, its from circa 1972, their reporting sequence (they'll report that there was a senior citizen opening of some sort in cape may BEFORE they report news about Neil Coehn or some other breaking news!), they never break news, so I'm thinking they don't have full time reporters, do they even have a website or reporter blogs?
