Quotes from around the Web
If our republic is to work as the framers envisioned, voters must know more about public policy alternatives. The Connecticut Mirror aims to provide the information and analysis that enables citizens to cast an informed ballot for their representatives.
The directors share a belief that vigorous coverage of government and public policy is essential to the common good … It is that belief that has led us to volunteer our time and expertise to launching the Connecticut News Project.
We are very grateful for the generous support of our founding foundations, certainly for their financial support, but also for the validation they lend and the ongoing value-added that comes from their intimate knowledge of Connecticut's communities
Our goal is to reach all of Connecticut's 1.4 million households … We can't do this by ourselves. We'll seek the help of distribution partners, other media outlets, community groups, libraries, foundations, schools, colleges and businesses.
Newspapers and other traditional media outlets have been victimized by years of decline in advertising and circulation revenues, causing them to have to significantly reduce coverage in all areas. We hope to supplement and re-energize that coverage.
