2.3.14 - Sen. Booker's first floor speech - "We Take Care of Our Own"

6.27.2020 Weekly Toyo Keizai Magazine - Japan
PDF of my four-page article with the magazine cover, saying “Corona Job Crisis.” The majority of the issue is about situations in Japan, though. I quoted you on the third page. You’ll see “NhN USA” and your middle name, “R” in English! My Tokyo-based editor has tried to send us copies of the issue, but mailing services between the U.S. and Japan have been interrupted for the past few months. I haven’t received even a single magazine or mail from Tokyo since the end of March. So at the moment, I’m emailing you.

I am a job search educator, mentor and motivator of individuals in transition. I also provide consulting to various types of workforce organizations, college career departments and staff, and have functioned as an advisor to local and federal Departments of Labor and Workforce Investment Boards (WIB), and other non-profits who share my passion for helping job seekers get back to work.

The work I have been engaged in as a pro bono volunteer since 2011, establishing and leading Neighbors-helping-Neighbors USA, has put me at the epicenter of the job search world both nationally and internationally, with the opening of a Neighbors-helping-Neighbors Madrid Spain.

There is an issue with links to stories from Record and North Jersey Media local papers since Gannett purchased them

They moved all the web site pages to their site but have not continued to link to and host the articles published under the Record and Local papers/sites they owned.

I am keeping the links on my site with hope that this will be addressed.   

I have made attempts to have them correct this not just for my articles but for everyone's , I feel strongly they have a community and social responsibility to keep the stories links live as other media companies do when they acquire other media properties. ​

Subject: Broken links

Hello Mr. Fugazzie,​

I received your email regarding broken links on NorthJersey.com. You are correct, these links no longer serve content on our web site. This has to do with a comprehensive relaunch of the web site that occurred in November of 2016, wherein we replaced the underlying software and the hosting environment. The relaunch brought plenty of improvements along with it, including a more mobile-friendly interface, apps for smartphones and lots of video. However, when we relaunched, we could not preserve links hosted by the “old” web site platform, which was essentially turned off when a contract with the previous hosting company ended.

I realize this technical explanation doesn’t make your problem easier to solve, and for that I apologize.

Our site offers a paid Newsbank archive, which you can access by visiting http://nl.newsbank.com/sites/njmnp/. There you can search for and purchase articles going back several decades. However, you’d be purchasing “offline” copies of the stories, not versions that would replace the publicly accessible links you listed below. Those stories are, unfortunately, no longer available as web pages. There are no plans to bring those pages back in the foreseeable future. If you’d like to find out about purchasing a license to reprint / distribute any of the old content, you can inquire with our licensing dept. at the following email address: [email protected]. Someone will get back to you promptly.

Thank you for your interest in our publications, and for taking the time to write us. I hope you’ll continue to find our web site and smart phone apps useful for keeping a beat on all things North Jersey.

All the best,

Sean Oates
