Founded in January 2004 after two years of development, The Hartford Guardian’s mission is to tap into civic life and publish a magazine that explores topics from a progressive perspective. Our online daily edition (www.thehartfordguardian.com) was launched in August, 2008 to satisfy our customers’ demand for increased frequency.

The Guardian  is for a readership committed to the advancement of youth and families, community building, civil rights and responsible social policy. The magazine consistently covers the arts, community-based organizations, government, the environment and more. The Guardian is published by the Connecticut Alliance for Better Communities, Inc., a 501 c 3 nonprofit organization.

We aim to give analysis and progressive perspective without editorializing. We do feature articles that combine original on-the-ground reporting with solid analysis. We are particularly interested in investigative stories and articles that educate Hartford County residents on how to best access the many services in our communities. We are also interested in investigative  news stories not found elsewhere in the Connecticut media market.

In addition to highlighting a community-based organization each month, our regular sections include:

• Your Neighborhood: current events in one or two neighborhoods
• Youth-In-Action: spotlight on Hartford County youths
• Your Neighbors: profile of someone living or working in your neighborhood
• Arts and Entertainment
• Business Beat
• Commentary
• Travel
• Nation/World
