The Hartford Courant (Tribune Publishing Company

accomplishments, and voluntarily agreed to recognize a union
representing certain newsroom employees.
“Our future success will stem from our relentless focus on our
readers,” said Andrew Julien, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, in a
letter sent to all newsroom employees. “This is a time for people
who are willing to understand the issues in all their complexities
to be part of the solution.”
Julien’s letter called for broad cooperation in charting the
Courant’s future, a commitment to digital innovation, and a belief
in journalism’s ability to improve people’s lives. Julien
highlighted recent awards for The Courant – including Newspaper of
the Year by the New England Newspaper and Press Association, and
New England First Amendment Coalition’s Michael Donoghue Freedom of
Information Award – as well as investments in reporters and the
newsroom.
The company has agreed to voluntarily recognize the Hartford
Courant Guild as the representative of certain newsroom employees
at the Hartford Courant and Courant Community. No date has been set
for the beginning of contract negotiations.
