In April 2020, The North Jefferson News merged with The Cullman Times. [3] The Times devoted one page of its Wednesday edition to news printed under the NJN banner, and sent this edition to remaining subscribers in Gardendale and surrounding areas. However, with no reporters remaining in the Gardendale area to cover news there, almost all North Jefferson News" subscribers soon cancelled. The Wednesday edition's page was discontinued in May of 2020. As of February 2024, the NJN website still redirects to a page on the Times website, though the content has not been updated since May 2020. [4]
