The New Haven Register is a daily newspaper published in New Haven, Connecticut. It is the second largest newspaper in Connecticut, behind The Hartford Courant. It is owned by Journal Register Company of Yardley, Pennsylvania.
The Register covers 19 towns and cities within New Haven and Middlesex counties, including New Haven. The newspaper also had one reporter in Hartford, the state capital, who covered state politics, but as of March 2008 removed that reporter, leaving New Haven's major daily without day-to-day coverage of state offices and the General Assembly.[1]

[edit] History
The Register was established about 1812 and is one of the oldest continuously published newspapers in the U.S. In the early 20th century it was bought by John Day Jackson. The Jackson family owned the Register, published weekday evenings and Saturday and Sunday mornings, and The Journal-Courier, a morning weekday paper, until they were combined in 1987 into a seven-day morning Register. John Day Jackson passed control of the papers to his sons, Richard and Lionel Jackson, then to Lionel's son, Lionel "Stewart" Jackson Jr. The paper was sold to Mark Goodson, the television producer, then to a company headed by Ralph Ingersoll before being sold to the company now known as Journal Register Company.
The Register underwent both a newsroom union decertification and a suit brought by women newsroom employees, both successful, in the late 1970s and 1980s. It enjoyed its highest circulation, peaking at more than 100,000, in the mid-1980s.
[edit] Competitors
The paper has a weekday circulation of 89,022, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulation.[2] It is has the second-highest circulation in the state, after the Hartford Courant (264,539) and ahead of the Connecticut Post (85,168).
Its main daily competitors are the Post, located in Bridgeport, which covers Stratford, Milford, and the lower Naugatuck Valley (Ansonia, Derby, Shelton, Beacon Falls, Naugatuck, Bethany, Oxford, and Seymour) and the Waterbury Republican-American, which covers Greater Waterbury, Litchfield, and the Naugatuck Valley.
The Register also shares part of its circulation area with Elm City Newspapers, a chain of weekly newspapers which also share an owner (Journal Register Company) and a New Haven headquarters building with the Register.
