Many people remember Jeff Cohen who, although having a couple years under his belt with the Courant, made his mark as the main contributor to the Courant’s Cityline blog. Jeff went on to NPR to become their city reporter and, although his main duty is via audio files, he has established an online presence with the Ct Capital Region blog.
After some time of “hey, does Jeff actually work there?”, he has been on a roll lately with about a weeks worth of great stuff ranging from the Perez trial to the City Hall after effects to a great 2 part Gangs in Hartford series. It’s a really cool experience because of its audio component. He’ll list the text file of whatever story he’s posted, but he also links to the audio file so one can hear the piece. It’s highly recommended as a regular source of news for those looking for Hartford specific stuff. If you’re on Twitter, you can also follow him at http://twitter.com/ctcapitalregion.
