News Sources
Yankee Tea News
Finding good journalism these days (especially in Connecticut ) is like running a juggernaut. Most of the publications in Connecticut are Hearst owned outlets and have taken a "cookie cutter" approach to reporting. Getting news from a single source means that you are a captive audience, and reporting becomes more a consequence of what a select few have deemed "true" or factual. We cover what is being published in the news and try to offer a perspective, not a narrative.
