This morning, we started something new at the New Haven Register building at 40 Sargent Drive. But the great thing is: You can raise your voice from anywhere.

We're hosting what we call "open news meetings" on the Internet, meaning any employee or anyone who is interested may take part at 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, as we discuss what's happening in our coverage area.

All you have to do is click that link or join us from our Facebook page.

And we're counting on you to fill us in on what's going on where you live, work and play; and give us daily feedback on how we're performing as journalists.

For the morning meetings, we will be joined by the staff and readers from our sister papers in Connecticut - the Register Citizen in Torrington; the Middletown Press in Middletown.

Ed and I will be looking for you online! And you're always welcome to stop by, that hasn't changed.
