For Jack Kramer, it turns out, there is journalistic life after the New Haven Register.

Kramer served as the Register’s editor until last August. He had worked at New Haven’s daily since 1976.

It was announced Wednesday that Kramer, who’s 57, will take over as executive editor of the company that publishes the daily New Britain Herald and Bristol Press, among other media properties.

Kramer’s reaction: “I’m very excited to be back where I belong—in a newsroom.”

Like Kramer, the New Britain and Bristol dailies found a second journalistic life after the Journal Register Co. cut ties with them. The chain (parent company of the New Haven Register) used to own those dailies. It was going to shut them down. The community rallied around the papers, looking for a buyer. (CPTV made a documentary about it.) A media businessman named Michael Schroeder stepped in to keep the papers alive in 2009. He’s still in business.
