A new Garden State news site from NJ.com, Mosaic, is now live. Its mission: To give readers news and information about communities of color, the LGBTQ community, veterans, people living with disabilities and others who contribute to the state’s “magnificent mosaic.”

The site notes that nearly a million New Jerseyans have at least one disability, more than 300,000 are military veterans and more than 340,000 identify as a member of the LGBTQ community. “We [also] have more than 545,000 Jewish neighbors, making us the state with the third-highest percent of Jews, and more than 321,000 Muslims, which makes us the state with the fourth-largest Muslim population.”

Mosaic was created by NJ Advance Media.
