Talk:Hartford Courant

Encyclopedic?
This article doesn't sound so much like an encyclopedic article; more like the "background" text that you'd find at the end of news articles. In particular, there's plenty of redundant text about the age of both the Courant and the Gazette, and many of the paragraphs consist only of a single short sentence. I would consider rewriting the article, but perhaps someone with more knowledge on the topic should take a look at the article first. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 02:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

I think this article is very biased in favor of this Alt-Left newspaper and I highly suspect someone at the newspaper that rewrote it. There is nothing critical about this newspaper. Why does the article for example call Donald Trump "controversial" but Hillary Clinton isn't "controversial"? BOTH Of them are controversial! Another thing missing is the financial difficulties of the newspaper. I read online that the Courant is going down the tubes, subscription rates are at an all time low. Why isn't this addressed? --2600:6C65:747F:CD3F:DEA:C158:6B60:6EDB (talk) 11:39, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

endorsements
unless there is a source, oe the newspaper itself cites the issue when it endorses a candidate, (i.e. Rowland shovelling $$ at downtown Hartford) wikipedia should not opine on why a newspaper issues an endorsement. I removed unsourced POV stuff on the Lieberman endorsement —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.141.171 (talk • contribs) 11:31, 1 August 2006

Sleepy's case
The section ends by saying that it "will" go to trial "in 2011". Presumably a verdict has come about by now. Could somebody in the know update this last part? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.27.151.0 (talk) 04:55, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Etymology of "courant"
A colleague opined in their edit summary that "Courant" is now French, and was never Dutch, which -- even if true -- would hardly be relevant, since the prototype of all newspapers bore that word (within a trivial spelling mutation) in its name, and was a Dutch paper 400 years ago when people who thot they were speaking English (for example) sounded like Shakespeare characters: it was Courante uyt Italien, Duytslandt, &c., a title i construe as "What's current, from out in Italy, the German states, and such places". (Note BTW that the et cetera notation appeared on its embryonic masthead!)  It still needs a reference -- even tho i don't think that the colleague's borderline-reckless edit rises to the level of vandalism.--Jerzy•t 03:18, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Name change of paper
It was the "Connecticut Courant" and now is the "Hartford Courant." When did that change, and why? 63.155.47.74 (talk) 19:56, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
