It’s good news when a Connecticut newspaper assigns a reporter to the state capitol full-time; too many have cut staff and pulled back on their coverage. So we were delighted to hear that The Day of New London has assigned reporter Sten Spinella to the beat. Previously, Sten was the Montville and Waterford towns reporter for The Day but wore other hats such as enterprise political reporter, breaking news reporter and podcast host. We’re thinking it’s been more than a decade since The Day had a politics/capitol reporter, and that the most recent was Ted Mann who’s now with the Wall Street Journal.
