Congrats to Mark Contreras time at Connecticut Public.
Contreras has led Connecticut Public since 2019. The news release credited him with expanding the network’s programming initiatives in Fairfield County. He also helped launch the Somos Connecticut Latino content initiative.

Last year, Connecticut Public and Puerto Rico newspaper publisher GFR Media received a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to hire two reporters to serve Spanish-speaking populations. Connecticut Public has also received CPB funding for statehouse reporting. In 2024, it co-produced Generation Barney, a limited-series podcast about the history of Barney & Friends, which the network co-produced.

“During my time at Connecticut Public, the institution has faced a number of serious challenges including COVID and, during 2025, the loss of federal funding for public media,” Contreras wrote on LinkedIn. “Because of the strength and ingenuity of our senior leadership team, we have overcome each of these challenges extremely well.”
