Meet the press
Brenda Sullivan image While many readers will know me from The Courant, The Chronicle and The Reminder... let me introduce myself as the editor of Mansfield Today. I've been a reporter in this area for many years and first began covering Mansfield news when I worked for The Chronicle in 1991. I am very excited about this new publication because like many of you, I no longer have a subscription to a printed newspaper, and you can have direct input on the stories you read via comments at the end of each article. If you happen to see me out and about in town, please feel free to say "Hello," and let me know what you think of this publication.
