After the murder of our colleague Alice Morrin by her husband last year, the Hartford Courant and FOX CT started a series called “Battered Lives,” focusing on the issue of domestic violence in the state. This past weekend, Connecticut’s Newsroom executed multi-platform coverage wrapping up our year-long investigation into this issue. Courant Reporter Josh Kovner wrote a story for the front page of Sunday’s paper and set up video interviews for all his subjects including a great one with Nancy Tyler. Tyler’s interview was broken out as a separate piece for FOX CT’s News at Ten on Saturday night, while the others were incorporated into a package Sarah French put together that aired Monday night. The pieces all referred to each other, as well as to stories and resources online. The series and its wrap-up are a powerful statement of CT1 Media’s commitment, impact and teamwork.

Good-Bye George Steinbrenner
On July 13, George “The Boss” Steinbrenner passed away leaving half of Connecticut mourning his passing (the other half is Red Sox land). Courant veteran Sports Writer Dom Amore emerged as the voice of Connecticut’s Newsroom to explain the significance of the Steinbrenner era to Connecticut’s strong cadre of Yankee fans. That morning, Amore phoned into the FOX CT News at 11am for an interview and shortly after, held a live chat on courant.com. He later taped a segment for the FOX CT News at Ten with Sports Anchor Rich Coppola. While doing all of this, Amore wrote a terrific piece with a great deal of local perspective for the July 14 edition of The Courant.

Jazz Fest Rocks Hartford
The 19th Annual Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz was held from July 16-18 in Bushnell Park, drawing over 50,000 jazz fans to the city. CT1 Media was out in full force. It was a weekend of amazing music, eclectic vendors and delicious food. The Hartford Courant and FOX CT were sponsors of this great event and helped deliver a unique product experience to client P.C. Richard & Son. But it was The CT’s Jazz Fest team that took our “We Heart CT” commitment to the next level by covering the event with six :60 cut-ins throughout the day on Saturday, promoting the festival and all of its activities. In addition to the cut-ins, the Creative Services Group executed an aggressive multi-platform marketing campaign designed to get more people out to New England’s largest free jazz festival with print and online ads (courant.com, ctnow.com and ct.com), AdMail and on air spots. The FOX CT Morning News featured live hits at 5am, 6am, 7am and 8am from Bushnell Park on the first day of the festival as organizers and musicians prepared for the big weekend. Courant Reporter Chris Keating covered the festival with an online story on Sunday that transitioned to an A1 article in Monday’s paper. And, a web driver was designed for post festival to push users to ct.com to check out the photo gallery.
