Tom Condon

The Hartford Courant

Tom Condon retired from The Hartford Courant on December 31, 2015 after devoting nearly five decades of outstanding writing to Connecticut and the New England region. Tom’s impact on journalism in the state and the region has been enormous. His columns and editorials have freed a wrongly accused man from prison, saved historic buildings from demolition, pushed the Connecticut legislature to write the toughest gun laws in the nation and shamed state courts into denying a corrupt ex-mayor his legal license. He has won more than 30 journalism and community awards, including the New England Society of News Editors Master Reporter Award, the 2007 American Planning Association Journalism Award and the 2008 Allan B. Rogers Editorial Award.
