This week comes the announcement that both John Ferraro, longtime investigative editor for the Courant, and Jenna Carlesso, Hartford city reporter, are leaving the Courant.
John is going to Hearst CT to oversee investigative journalism; Hearst’s press release about the hiring highlights his long career in Connecticut journalism, plus other Courant alum who have recently defected to Hearst.
Jenna will be joining the CT Mirror to cover health (Mackenzie Rigg left the Mirror late last year). She was with the Courant for almost 10 years. Yes, she will now be working at the same outlet as her husband, budget reporter Keith Phaneuf.
