On Friday afternoon, Melissa Pionzio wrote a farewell post on her iTowns blog on the Hartford Courant's website. Although it wasn't the same as having a local reporter (since Melissa was covering several towns) it was nice to know that you could occasionally find a Middletown-oriented story on her blog, like her recent post on a dance workshop at Keigwin Middle School. She writes that she will still be working at the Courant, and sometimes helping with Middletown stories -- it's just her blog that is ending.
I'm sorry to hear that, I loved her articles and learned about Middletown from them. She provided a welcome view of our city.
ReplyDeleteAlso sorry to hear this, I too enjoyed her work. If newspapers in general are moving to online forms, why did the Courant cut this?
