Announcements

The Connecticut News Project, publisher of The Connecticut Mirror, is pleased to announce the addition of two members to its Board of Directors.

In February we welcomed our one millionth visitor.

We are proud to have been named “Media of The Year” by our nonprofit peers at The CT Association of Nonprofits while our news colleagues at the National Journal rated our campaign reporting “the best coverage of this cycle” in Connecticut.

The Connecticut Mirror is launching the first phase of a redesign that will make our site easier to read and navigate and provide more news, features and links to content elsewhere on the Web.

Connecticut has its own reporter in the nation’s capital again, as Deirdre Shesgreen joins The Connecticut Mirror as its Washington correspondent.

Since our launch on January 25, 2010, The Connecticut Mirror has published more than 500 insightful stories.

CT Mirror has received a grant from the Connecticut Health Foundation to create a full-time health beat in Connecticut and help support news coverage from Washington D.C.

We have big plans for this crucial 2010 year and they all revolve around independent non-partisan news coverage of state government, public policy and politics and wide dissemination of news and background information to Connecticut residents.

The Connecticut Mirror, set to launch on January 25, will focus on state government, politics, education, healthcare and social services.
