Whether it's reading the paper every morning at the breakfast table, sitting down to the evening news, or surfing the Internet on your lunch break, it's likely that you check up on local, national, and world news stories at least every once in a while. For some people that means reading about celebrities who's lives seem a million miles away from their life working on a septic tank pump truck while others are looking to check their stock portfolio and for new business stories. No matter what sort of news you're looking for, there are many local sources where you can get it in New Haven.

The New Haven Register is the largest newspaper in the region and is a member of the Journal Register Company's network of 170 publications. This means that you will be able to read up-to-date and accurate stories about a new factory opening in the area that makes livestock waterers or about new legislation happening in Washington DC. If you're adding your name to the increasingly long list of people who are now getting the majority of their news from the Internet, the New Haven Register also has a website that includes videos and blog postings along with all of the stories that are included in the daily newspaper.

There are several newspapers in the area focusing on different topics and demographics. If you're interested in stocks in a drive pulley firm or entrepreneurial news than you may want to check out Business New Haven or Connecticut Business Times. Students at Yale University could be more interested in the two campus newspapers, the Yale Daily Times and the Yale Herald. The New Haven Advocate focuses more on local news and stories related to arts and entertainment. If you're interested in a new play or art exhibit that uses materials like aquarium gravel than you may be able to find a story about it here.

There are two main television networks that offer news programs filmed within the area, one on channel three and the other on channel eight. If you're more interested in newspapers and brochure printing online than there is also the website New Haven Independent. This site is part of the Online Journalism Project, which is meant to provide grassroots news stories to the all those that are interested. The project was started in 2005 and has a definite focus on local stories.
