Landed On His Feet

Roger Catlin, who began at the Courant as a State Desk reporter before evolving into a world-class TV writer, has landed on his feet after leaving  his longtime employer.

His work now appears  regularly on Salon.com.

Good for him.

Bonuses Trump Jobs

0 | May 4th, 2012 | Posted in News

Some things never change. Bonuses at the top; layoffs and buyouts at the bottom.

Anyway, $45 million wouldn’t have saved that many jobs anyway. Probably no more than a thousand for only a year — but those would have been crappy $45,000-a-year jobs.

Circulation Report

0 | May 2nd, 2012 | Posted in News

Some new circulation numbers are making the rounds, and The Courant’s numbers are among them.

Sunday circulation for March appears to be down about 3.2 percent — that’s a loss of 6,363 copies out of 197,407 a year earlier. Saturday circulation is up 1.5 percent to  138,195; but most other days are down slightly. Average daily circulation is off 2.4 percent to 132,006.

The numbers for Bristol and New Britain are really small.  The only good news for print is that the New London Day appears to be bucking the trend by showing some substantial growth in daily readership.
