The Hartford Advocate has morphed overnight from the Courant's nemesis into a marketing tool for clueless Courant executives trying to figure out how to appeal to those crazy twentysomethings with their coffee addictions and body piercings.
The Advocate chain was born in 1973, when two young editors at the Courant, Robinson and Ed Matys, quit their jobs, borrowed $1500 apiece, and started the Valley Advocate.
Advocate staffers say Robinson and Austin were wary of selling to either of the two major alternative-newspaper chains -- the Phoenix, Arizona-based New Times or Stern Publishing, owner of the Village Voice -- fearing that they would cut staff to pay down the debt they would presumably have to take on.

Founded by the Advocate to highlight a growing musical culture in Hartford, the annual readers' poll actually began in 1989, as the Best of the Bands contest.
Repeat winners are so prevalent this year, in fact, that organizers here at the Advocate are considering the establishment of a Hall of Fame category, which would effectively eliminate many of the area's most popular bands from the regular competition, and allow more room for newer groups to establish their presence.
The vitality of a city can often be judged by the quality of its music, and Hartford's scene is still regarded as top-notch, even by visitors from the comparably dense musical environments in Boston and New York.
