Speaking of the Courant...
We don’t want to hold anyone to this, or make too much of it, but former Hartford Courant cartoonist Bob Englehart shared an interesting quote this weekend during his appearance on Face the State.
Referring to a meeting at the paper in March, Englehart quoted the paper’s publisher(:6:40) as predicting the print version of the Courant would be around for another “ten years.” After that, Englehart suggested, no one knows what’s next for the Courant, or the print industry in general.
It was a rare glimpse into how newspaper insiders see their future.
BTW – The interview also includes a cartoon of Englehart drawn by former Governor Bill O’Neill, who was not an Englehart fan.
