Columbia Journalism Review did a magazine feature on Jersey Journal reporter Joe Albright’s 88th birthday, proclaiming “Saint Joseph” to be the longest-serving Statehouse reporter in the nation.

Inspired by the article, free-lance videographer Tim Stollery launched into a documentary film project on Albright, interviewing former governors, reporters and residents of the Trenton neighborhood where Albright has been blessing and feeding birds and animals when he is not researching or writing his next column for the Jersey Journal.Stollery’s project was interrupted by the Covid-19 lockdowns, but he is now back at work, with the Corporation for New Jersey Local Media signing on as the non-profit sponsor to seek grant funding to complete the project.“Joe is 92, and I’d like to get the film out there,” said Stollery, an Emmy Award-winning videographer during the two decades he spent at New Jersey Network. “I’m on the final edits, and I appreciate the Corporation for New Jersey Local Media’s willingness to take this on as a project.”CNJLM board members who reviewed Stollery’s rough cut were enthusiastic about the film, feeling that it was a good fit with the non-profit’s emphasis on promoting the importance of professional journalism.Support this project

Albright, who has been covering Statehouse politics from a Hudson County angle since the Hughes Administration in the 1960s, brings an encyclopedic knowledge of New Jersey political history to the job, making him a “go to” source for Statehouse reporters like NJ Spotlight’s John Reitmeyer, who shared an office with Albright before the Statehouse renovations.
