Connecticut Public Radio | By Catie Talarski
Published July 11, 2013 at 12:32 PM EDT

The Tribune Company, owner of the Hartford Courant and Fox Connecticut, made an announcement yesterday that it’s going to split its broadcast and publishing divisions. It’s just another chapter in the ongoing saga of “the future of the newspaper industry.” Coming up, industry analyst Ken Doctor gives us his prognosis on our nation’s oldest continuously published newspaper.

 

Also, we’ll check in on the progress of the Department of Social Services and their technologically deficient agency.  They opened a new call center on Monday, and got 11,ooo calls!
 
And,  the measure of America says Connecticut is the best state to live in. We agree, but we’ll find out why we came out on top.

Guests: 
  • Ken Doctor - news industry analyst, author of Newsonomics: Twelve Trends that will Shape the News You Get
  • Arielle Levin-Becker - Health reporter at the Connecticut Mirror
  • Kristen Lewis - Co-director of Measure of America
