The Branford Eagle has been named Best Hyperlocal News Site in the 2014 “Best of New Haven” readers poll.
The results of the annual poll, now published by the Hartford Courant and formerly published by the now-defunct New Haven Advocate, were announced last week. (The Courant kept the poll alive after deciding to stop publishing the New Haven Advocate, which it owned, and folding it into its weekly “CT Now” arts section.)
The Eagle, which has won numerous statewide journalism awards in serving Branford for the past eight years, won the best local news site category. The New Haven Independent came in second, followed by CTBoom.com, a site with a comedic bent that publishes out of Milford.
