 '''CT Insider''' is a news website launched in 2019 by the Hearst Corporation. The site covers news, sports, business, entertainment and other topics related to Connecticut.

The website, which has offices in Norwalk, Meriden, Bridgeport, Stamford, and Danbury, Connecticut, is part of '''Hearst Connecticut Media Group'''’s network of local news websites, newspapers and magazine <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.hearst.com/newspapers/hearst-connecticut-media-group | title=Connecticut Media Group - HEARST }}</ref>. CT Insider is the online home for many of Hearst Connecticut’s brands, including Connecticut Magazine, GametimeCT, the Journal Inquirer of Manchester, and the Record-Journal of Meriden.

===History===
CT Insider was started in 2019 as a subscriber gateway to Hearst Connecticut Media Group’s newspaper websites. In 2021, the site relaunched as a regional news site covering statewide topics and areas of Connecticut not traditionally covered by Hearst Connecticut’s newspapers <ref>{{cite web | url=https://wan-ifra.org/2021/06/hearst-connecticut-launches-statewide-platform-aimed-at-new-audiences/ | title=Hearst Connecticut launches statewide platform aimed at new audiences | date=30 June 2021 }}</ref>. Over time, some of Hearst Connecticut’s other brands and newspapers were migrated to CT Insider’s website, including Connecticut Magazine, GameTimeCT and the Shoreline Times. Today, the site covers a range of topics related to Connecticut, including breaking news, politics and elections, business, real estate, entertainment and sports, with a heavy focus on the UConn men's and women's basketball teams and high school sports.

===Expansion===
In June of 2023, Hearst acquired the Journal Inquirer of Manchester <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.hartfordbusiness.com/article/hearst-completes-ji-acquisition-offers-jobs-to-half-of-newspapers-staff | title=Hearst completes JI acquisition; offers jobs to half of newspaper's staff }}</ref> and began publishing the newspaper’s digital content on CT Insider. In late 2023, Hearst finalized a deal to purchase the RJ Media Group <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/hearst-ct-media-finalizes-deal-to-acquire-rj-media-group-in-meriden,247379 | title=Hearst CT Media finalizes deal to acquire RJ Media Group in Meriden | date=2 January 2024 }}</ref>, which includes the Record Journal of Meriden, and moved that newspaper’s online presence to CT Insider.

===Awards===
A 2023 investigative series that uncovered Freedom of Information violations in Connecticut’s largest city earned the 2024 Mitchell W. Pearlman Freedom of Information Award from the Connecticut Foundation for Open Government <ref>{{cite web | url=https://ctfog.org/pearlman/connecticut-foundation-for-open-government-announces-winners-of-third-annual-pearlman-freedom-of-information-award/ | title=Connecticut Foundation for Open Government Announces Winners of Third Annual Pearlman Freedom of Information Award | date=13 September 2024 }}</ref>, as well as the Connecticut Society of Professional Journalists' First Amendment Award <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/hearst-ct-media-wins-100-spj-awards-plus-press-19545199.php | title=Hearst CT Media wins over 100 SPJ awards, top freedom of information prize | date=28 June 2024 }}</ref>.

'''DG Organic Basics ApS''', commonly known as Organic Basics, is a Danish clothing company headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/108663-22#funding | title=Organic Basics Company Profile 2024: Valuation, Investors, Acquisition | PitchBook }}</ref>. Founded in 2015, it began as a men' s underwear subscription service, and later expanded its product range to include underwear, activewear, and everyday essentials for men and women. The majority of its products are made with organic cotton, recycled nylon and TENCEL™ Lyocell. The brand holds certifications from the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and the Organic Content Standard (OCS), and is a member of 1% for the Planet.

==History==
Organic Basics was established in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2014 by four co-founders: Mads Fibiger, Alexander Christiansen, Christoffer Immanuel, and Mads Rasmussen<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.scandinaviastandard.com/organic-basics-launch-their-sofest-most-sustainable-collection-yet/ | title=Organic Basics Launch Their Sofest & Most Sustainable Collection Yet | date=16 April 2019 }}</ref>. The company initially focused on sustainable underwear alternatives in minimalist styles, muted colors and with a focus on transparency. The brand first sought investment on the first season of Løvens Hule, the Danish version of Dragon’s Den, a reality series where entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of venture capitalists in hopes of securing investment. They did not secure funding, but launched a successful Kickstarter campaign, exceeding its $10,000 goal and raising over $20,000. In 2017, the company relocated from Denmark to California and its founders secured $1 million USD in funding from Nordic Eye, and venture capital funds Bumble Ventures and Johan Uggla with Organic Basics still owning the majority of the company<ref>{{cite web | url=https://nordic9.com/news/nordic-eye-invested-in-organic-basics-news8552425767/ | title=Organic Basics raised $1M from Nordic Eye, Bumble Ventures and Johan Uggla }}</ref>. In 2019, they secured a €1 million investment from the French consumer fund, Eutopia<ref>{{cite web | url=https://nordic9.com/news/organic-basics-secured-funding-from-eutopia-news2002262734 | title=Organic Basics secured funding from Eutopia }}</ref>. Through its investment rounds, Organic Basics expanded its product line to include men's and women's styles, featuring socks, bras, underwear, T-shirts, and loungewear.

The '''NFL Academy''' is a program run by the National Football League (NFL) aimed at developing international high school students in American football and creating pathways for athletes to secure U.S. college scholarships.

==Background==
The NFL Academy was launched in 2019 and was initally based out of Barnet and Southgate College in North London.

The Academy has since played games in Sweden, France, Ireland, and the United States, in addition to the United Kingdom at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<ref name="nflacademyresults">{{Cite web|url=https://www.nflacademy.com/nfl-academy-europe-africa/schedule-results/|title=Schedule & Results - NFL Academy|website=www.nflacademy.com}}</ref>

Over 40 students have earned scholarships, with 19 playing Division I football as of the 2024 college football season.

The Hon. '''Edwin Craye''' is a fictional character in the Jeeves stories. The fourteen-year-old son of Lord Worplesdon and younger brother of Lady Florence Craye, he is a bothersome Boy Scout who seeks to perform "daily acts of kindness", though he is more concerned with performing ''daily'' acts than actually being helpful. He always causes trouble for others with his meddlesome actions, especially after he has fallen behind with his daily acts of kindness and is trying to catch up. He appears in "Jeeves Takes Charge" and ''Joy in the Morning''.

A prototype of Edwin Craye appears in the Reggie Pepper story "Disentangling Old Percy". This early version of Edwin is a meek adult. He has the title Lord Weeting in the British edition of the story.<ref>Ring & Jaggard (1999), pp. 66–67.</ref>
