Mission
THE MISSION OF THE CONNECTICUT NEWS PROJECT, INC. ("CNP") IS TO INCREASE THE LEVEL OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AMONG STATE'S RESIDENTS. WE ARE AN INDEPENDENT, NON-PARTISAN, NON-PROFIT NEWS ORGANIZATION CREATED TO REINVIGORATE COVERAGE OF CONNECTICUT'S STATE GOVERNMENT, PUBLIC POLICY, AND POLITICS. OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE ARE BETTER INFORMED AND EDUCATED ABOUT THEIR GOVERNMENT AND ITS ACTIVITIES, SO THEY CAN MORE EFFECTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC POLICY. WE WILL ACHIEVE THIS GOAL THROUGH ORIGINAL AND RELIABLE REPORTING ON OUR WEBSITE, WWW.CTMIRROR.ORG, AND THROUGH VARIOUS OTHER PLATFORMS AND TECHNOLOGIES. WE WILL REPORT, ANALYZE, EXPLAIN, AND INVESTIGATE THE ACTIVITIES OF STATE GOVERNMENT, REASSERTING THE "WATCHDOG" ROLE OF THE MEDIA. CNP ALSO INTENDS TO ENCOURAGE AND FACILITATE DISCUSSION AND DEBATE ON PUBLIC POLICY MATTERS, AND TO HELP TRAIN A NEW GENERATION OF JOURNALISTS.
