Our Mission
At Caron Communications, your message is our mission.
We help people and organizations communicate clearly, credibly, and with purpose, whether that means earning the right press coverage, getting through a crisis, or building a brand people trust. Founded in Wethersfield, Connecticut, in February 2025, we work with schools, public safety agencies, municipalities, campaigns, non-profits, attorneys, documentary projects, and small businesses and startups. Technology keeps changing how messages travel. What makes them land hasn't changed: real human connection. That is where we start with every client.
Meet Matt Caron
President & CEO
Matt Caron spent more than 20 years as a journalist in New England before founding Caron Communications. Most recently he was a news anchor, chief investigator, and political reporter at FOX61/CW20 in Hartford. Before that he reported for WWLP 22News in Springfield, Massachusetts. His work earned three Emmy nominations.
​
Matt covered some of the region's most difficult stories, including the Sandy Hook school shooting and the Boston Marathon bombing. He was the lead investigator on the Jennifer Dulos case and the Alex Jones trial. His investigations uncovered election fraud, exposed questionable insurance practices, helped students defrauded by for-profit colleges, revealed nursing home mismanagement, and held slumlords and public officials accountable.
​
Every client gets the benefit of that experience. Matt knows how reporters decide what is news, how a story takes shape, and how a message holds up under hard questions. He has worked in print and television, in jobs ranging from production to editorial management, and has built lasting relationships across media, government, and the community.
​
Matt is a cum laude graduate of Western New England University, where he earned a B.A. in Communications.
