from www.nj.com – The Dirty Jerz will be dirtier than ever this weekend, as the Exxxotica porn convention hits Edison, New Jersey, bringing porn stars, producers, merchants and fans of all things pornographic to the Garden State Exhibition Center. The convention comes at a time when the porn industry is in turmoil, with sales of DVD’s and even subscription web services being hurt by the huge amount of free content on the internet. To a veteran of the troubled newspaper business, the porn industry’s problems sound all too familiar. On today’s Ledger Live, host Brian Donohue, a Star-Ledger staffer, stops by as the convention to see if pornographers have any lessons on coping for the newspaper industry.
