Jim Gold of JiltedJournalists.com profiles former Hartford Courant business editor George Gombossy, who was fired from his job as consumer watchdog columnist at the paper last month for refusing to kowtow to advertiser’s interests.
Gold writes, “As the site develops quickly, it is getting more hits, but more importantly more stickiness.
“And that, Gombossy says, is more important for local advertisers who find views from people in 120 different countries meaningless because they count on local customers for business.
“Gombossy announced on his Facebook page that ctwatchdog.com put up its second paid sponsor and at least two more are in the works.
“Gombossy acknowledges he has some advantages over other jilted journalists when it comes to launching a new Web site, but others can succeed too.”
