History

The Connecticut Mirror was founded in 2009 by a small group of Connecticut residents with $1.8 million in startup funding.[4] After several state news organizations, including the Hartford Courant, suffered massive layoffs, those residents were "concerned about the decline in watchdog journalism."

After the concern for watchdog media grew, [https://ctmirror.org/about-us/ The Connecticut News Project Inc]. was created. The Connecticut News Project Inc. is a non-profit organization that works on informing the people of Connecticut about their government and related happenings. After a few months, this led to the creation of The Connecticut Mirror. The mission of The Connecticut Mirror is to "produce deep reporting on government policies and politics, to become an invaluable resource for anyone who lives, works or cares about Connecticut, and to hold our policymakers accountable for their decisions and actions."

The Mirror is financed by various foundations and individuals. The Mirror relies on these foundations and individuals contributions so that they can continue to grow and expand the organization. In September 2018, it was announced that the Hearst Connecticut Media Group has agreed to carry The Mirror's coverage related to politics and policy on the publisher's websites. [5]
