I am not a subscriber and didn’t see it for myself, but one of my observant ex-journalist friends reports that stories from both CT Mirror.org and CTNewsJunkie are appearing in the Journal Inquirer.

This is an interesting development — and I haven’t much figured out what it means for local journalism and the competitive environment. For instance, how do the donors to CTMirror.org’s parent organization feel about the CTMirror material appearing in a for-profit publication? Could any news agency use it? And what if CTNewsJunkie has some sort of horrible libelous error? Doesn’t the paper carrying it share in the responsibility?

These are just questions, of course; and I am sure there are others. These waters seem uncharted and I will be eager to see where we are a year from now.
