Of Ridgefield By Ridgefield For Ridgefield
Your life and your family’s lives are most directly and immediately impacted by local governance right here in Ridgefield. Yet you have too much information (TMI) about Federal and State public policy and governance and too little information (TLI) about Ridgefield public policy and governance.
The Ridgefield Record is dedicated to rebalancing this information asymmetry (IA). Democracy relies on an informed electorate. Gaps in information lead to expensive and sometimes painful, unnecessary experience. The problem with learning from experience is the test comes first and the lesson comes later. Past is prologue and those who fail to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.

Ridgefield Record………Closes Information Gaps
Mass media has an army of professional journalists who are dedicated to digging deep for national and state-wide information and narratives. Local news is inherently more expensive relative to available financial resources. So like almost all local markets, Ridgefield is underserved with local investigative news outlets.
The Ridgefield Record calls on all on- and off-the-record and known and unknown sources to piece together a robust, one-stop community knowledge hub.
