I received this press release in my inbox yesterday about a media partnership between Fox CT (already associated by the Hartford Courant) and the Record-Journal of Meriden:

FOX CT and the Record-Journal are pleased to announce the formation of a unique news content-sharing agreement.

The two newsgathering organizations will exchange stories and images that focus on local communities and share them with their respective audiences during TV newscasts, in their newspapers and online.

FOX CT has built a remote studio at the Meriden offices of the Record-Journal that will allow live reports by newspaper reporters during FOX CT’s 4pm newscast.

“Any opportunity where we can share local content is a win-win for the viewers and readers of these two outstanding news organizations,” said Rich Graziano, vice president and general manager of FOX CT. “Partnering with the Record-Journal reinforces FOX CT as a statewide news organization, giving our newscasts a greater and wider impact, which is ultimately our mission."

“We are looking forward to a strong partnership with FOX CT that benefits both news organizations,” said Record-Journal Publisher Eliot C. White. “This is an opportunity for the Record-Journal to deliver our unique local content to an expanded audience and to market our products throughout the state.”
