About this site

FAIRFIELD GAZETTE covers the public life of Fairfield, Connecticut independently and with respect for civic process.

Our focus is local government, planning and land use, housing, infrastructure, education, elections, and the institutions that shape daily life. We report on what happened, what changed, and why it matters.

We prioritize original reporting and clear explanation over aggregation or outrage. We do not publish crime blotter coverage, rumor, or social-media speculation. Regional or state context is included only when it directly affects Fairfield.

This project was created to restore continuity in local reporting: fewer headlines, more record. One town, followed carefully.
