As the Connecticut Mirror reported, "The system was hit by a series of controversies last fall that included the improper granting of double-digit percentage pay raises for central office staff and disclosure that the community college presidents were being offered expedited separations. These events led to the resignations of the president and vice president of the 100,000-student system last October. A new president of the system, Gregory Gray, took office July 1. Several top-level positions are also vacant, including a budget chief, chief information officer and spokesman."

In addition to covering news in Fairfield County, the collaboration offers opportunities for Fairfield University students to be interns in a working newsroom.

The Connecticut Mirror is the website of the nonprofit Connecticut News Project (CNP). The project was created to ensure that the people of Connecticut are better informed about their government's activities. Besides posting original reporting at www.ctmirror.org and via other platforms, the CNP facilitates discussion on public policy, creates an archive of documents and data about state government and helps train a new generation of journalists.

WNPR news director John Dankosky said in a statement: "Fairfield University has been an exceptional partner in helping us serve Fairfield County with news and information. WNPR's relationship with The Connecticut Mirror has created the strongest news collaboration in the state. Together, we hope to tell compelling stories about our environment and the issues facing Southwestern Connecticut."
