Fox 61 reporter Matt Caron has left the station according to multiple sources with internal working knowledge of the Hartford newsroom.
The Laurel is told that after a meeting between management and Caron exited. Sources say the purpose of the meeting was not intended to result in Caron’s departure, but that’s what happened. So far(late Wednesday) Caron has refrained from making any comments about the situation on his various social media accounts, but a search of the station’s news bios turns up a familiar message:
Caron has been with Fox 61 since 2018 and has been the station’s Capitol reporter, an investigative reporter, and anchor.
His departure is the latest in a string of exits over the last two months. Previous separations are said to be rooted in management insistence that all reporters become “multi-skilled journalists” shooting their own stories. We do not know the details of any dispute that may have occurred involving Caron’s employment status.
