2017 marked the inception of Connecticut News, a platform dedicated to delivering accurate and comprehensive news coverage of events and stories within the heart of New England – Connecticut. Our journey began with a clear vision: to fill an information void on the internet by providing a reliable source of local news for residents and those interested in the state’s happenings.
Our Purpose and Core Values
Connecticut News was established with the intent to serve as a beacon of unbiased journalism, committed to accuracy, transparency, and community engagement. Our core values are rooted in the principles of integrity, accountability, and a relentless pursuit of truth.

The Information Gap and Our Response
In 2017, it became evident that there was a significant gap in local news coverage for Connecticut. National outlets often overlooked the state’s unique stories, while regional media faced budget cuts and staff reductions. Recognizing this void, Connecticut News was founded to ensure that residents would not be left in the dark about events that shape their lives and communities.
