The publisher and editor of ROI-NJ have acquired the New Jersey-based business publication for an undisclosed amount.

“[Tom] Hughes will continue in his role as publisher, leading all business operations, while [Tom] Bergeron will continue in his role as editor, overseeing all editorial initiatives.

“Bergeron said the organization’s editorial mission and objectives will remain the same.
