New London Day
New London Day is a daily newspaper in New London, Connecticut, USA covering local news, sports, business, jobs, and community events.
The newspaper is published seven days a week.
The Day was founded by the Chappells, a wealthy New London mercantile family, in 1881 as a mouthpiece of the local Republican Party. The first publisher was Maj. John A. Tibbits, a Civil War veteran and a Chappell. Tibbits left the newspaper in 1889 to accept a diplomatic post in England, and The Day fell upon hard times under his successors. The Chappells persuaded Theodore Bodenwein, who had been one of the founders of another local newspaper, the Telegraph, to buy the newspaper in hopes of rescuing their investment in it. Bodenwein had to agree to switch political parties to Republican as a condition of getting a loan from the owners to buy the paper. He later became a Republican leader, and served two terms as secretary of the state of Connecticut. Ever since Bodenwein's death in January 1939, The Day has been held in public trust. The Day Publishing Company devotes its attention to operating the newspaper and supporting a charitable foundation, the Bodenwein Public Benevolent Foundation. This arrangement ensures that the newspaper will remain independent and locally-owned and that profits from the newspaper will be distributed to non-profit organizations within The Day's primary circulation area.
Circulation: 25,494 copies
This newspaper is owned by The Day Publishing Company.
