If you grew up in New Britain you knew the publisher of The New Britain Herald was Judith Brown. Her family owned the paper for decades. Then after she died the paper was sold. Now it is in the hands of Michael E. Schroeder. He published an article about a judge in Las Vegas who is ruling on a case that Billionaire Sheldon Adelson is connected with.
Schroeder then had an article, (written by whom? We don't know for sure) published in the paper. This article has nothing to do with anything in CT. only the courts in Las Vegas--and as a citizen of New Britain, CT. I don't care about the courts in Vegas. What I do care about is why a publisher of my hometown paper is doing this---and why he feels he can get away with it.
Yes, I know about freedom of speech, freedom of the press--but when the Publisher tells his editor of the paper to go pound sand---there is no journalist ethics with this publisher---
According to the editor of the Bristol Press paper (the sister paper of New Britain Herald) who resigned this week because the publisher is "guilty of journalistic misconduct of epic proportions."
Yes, I could have told you that The New Britain Herald (sister paper to New Britain Herald) is a very Republican Paper. In fact, I believe if it wasn't for the papers in New Britain (there is another Republican led paper) we would not have had the upset in the Republican Party this Democratic town did in 2013 and in 2015. When you have a few local papers that only cover the GOOD side of the Republicans--its hard NOT to lose. Congrats New Britain Herald--you have made Mrs. Brown very upset.
