Finally, some good news!
The Courant Alumni Blog reports today of the creation of The Connecticut News Project, Inc. Described as “an online investigative news operation”, the project will be headed by former Courant Assistant Managing Editor Michael Regan and former Courant reporter Mark Pazniokas will provide “some of the reporting horsepower.”
Here’s how the operation describes itself in its ad for a chief administrator:
The Connecticut News Project, Inc. CNP was established in July 2009 to develop an on-line news service to address the growing void in coverage of Connecticut’s government. CNP’s Board has hired an award-winning editor to oversee all aspects of the news operation and to recruit a staff of experienced, professional journalists. Together, they will help restore high-quality, in-depth news reporting about issues affecting the state; the actions of Connecticut’s Governor and other constitutional officers, legislature, courts, and the state agencies; and the performance of those entrusted by Connecticut’s voters to serve the public interest.
We wish it the best of luck!
