Straight facts. Visible sources.

Local first. Free to read.

We focus on all towns in New London, Windham and Tolland counties, with important stories from across Connecticut. Readers can browse freely when the site launches publicly.

Fair coverage. Facts first.

We cover newsworthy developments across our communities and political viewpoints. Our editorial commitment is to accuracy, fairness and independence: apply consistent standards, represent relevant perspectives, distinguish verified facts from allegations, and correct mistakes openly. Reporting is separate from opinion, and support or advertising does not buy favorable coverage. We cannot cover every event; readers can send tips and challenge missing context through our correction form.

AI-written, source-linked

Articles are original AI-written summaries of attributed facts, not firsthand reporting. We link the underlying sources, distinguish allegations from established facts, and make single-source official reports clear. We seek independent corroboration and hold unsupported or conflicting details.

Corrections that stay visible

Case outcomes and factual corrections require authoritative verification. Accepted changes receive a prominent dated note and appropriate headline updates. An uploaded document or anonymous tip alone does not establish a fact.

People, photos and memorials

Adult names may be included from official public releases. We omit minors and protected victims, full birth dates and private home addresses. Photos require documented rights or permission. Illustrations are labeled. Obituaries use authorized family or funeral-home wording.

Community submissions

Tips may be anonymous with optional contact information. Events, scores, business listings and memorial submissions are verified before publication. Paid or recurring events enter through submissions. Comments are not enabled.

Support without influence

Coverage remains free. Sponsored placements will be labeled. Support and advertising do not determine what facts are reported.
