First day of #earlyvoting in CT today. I'll be out of town on Nov 4, so I got my ballot in now. Early voting was a LONG time coming in this state - grateful we finally made it easier on everyone! 🙏 to all of the poll workers who make this happen. #vote

Love to see this!

You can support hardworking student journalists like Brandon Cortés by subscribing to CT Community News on Substack.

CT Community News representing at the Center for Community News 2025 national conference in Vermont! So good to gather with news-academic partnerships from all over the country to brainstorm about student reporting and the future of news!

Griffith was found guilty of failure to disperse and fined $50. That's unconstitutional -- even the DOJ recognizes journalists' right to cover how law enforcement disperses protesters. But it also shows what a giant waste of taxpayer funds it is to prosecute journalists for doing their jobs.

Absolutely - journalism is public service! It's good to see a younger generation of talent choosing the profession - for all its difficulties.

And here's the video version of that show! Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH9J...

“Our community is less informed with my father not able to report,” Mario Guevera’s son, Oscar, said. Journalist Mario Guevara, who has been in detention over 100 days, faces an ICE deportation order. #FREEMARIO NOW!

This is so worth your time to hear @karenattiah.bsky.social in her own words on with @jimacosta.bsky.social. I was shocked this was the first (only?) in-depth one-on-one she's been offered. Her firing is a huge news story. jimacosta.substack.com/p/fired-for-...

Absolutely this. "Smoothing out" is the inverse of creativity and of getting a student to realize what is unique and interesting about the voice they already have.

Can confirm - the seals are for real!

Part I of a two op-ed pieces on parking reform in Connecticut I worked on w/ my @ctparkingreform.bsky.social co-founder Casey Moran. Part I’s message is simple: parking reform is working for Hartford and towns like Thompson! ctmirror.org/2025/08/26/p...

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."
