Hearst announced in June it was pooling the resources of its eight Connecticut daily newspapers and another 14 weeklies and websites to launch a new statewide digital site, CTInsider.com.
The venture draws on a total news staff of 160, with just a small group dedicated to assembling the report.
It’s the culmination of a Hearst initiative dating back 15 years that has gradually assembled properties to build a statewide presence in most of Connecticut’s largest cities except Hartford.
