The New Haven Register’s corporate CEO was reportedly headed to town Wednesday to reassure the newsroom about the latest news about the company: It just filed bankruptcy again.
The CEO, John Paton, announced the Journal Register Co. bankruptcy filing Wednesday on his blog and on the website of his company, Digital First Media. Read the official release here. Digital First Media is an umbrella corporation that manages the Journal Register Co., the New Haven Register’s owner, operating in 10 states; and the Media News chain, which operates in 10 states.
This is the second time in under four years that a corporate owner of New Haven’s print daily has filed for bankruptcy. (Read about the previous case here.)

I’ve stopped in to the RC’s Internet Cafe. The Torrington one is very nice and the people are as friendly as you could want given the doom and gloom reality of a recession coupled with the technology change. I really think the model is great and in a perfect world would be a huge success. Locating it at Water and Main would be even better!
I thought their coverage of the 5th race was excellent and will be sorely missed in future years if not replaced.
Can they survive?
Hmmm…..the Torrington Patch? The Litchfield News Junkie (Terry)? The 5th District Journal? The Foothills Trader News? The Nader Memorial News?
