"Patch" was an attempt at "hyperlocal" news and feature reporting, using distributed (read that as low paid) reporters who knew their areas and could write up the stories. And they certainly tried their best.
Kind of vaguely similar to its cousin, "examiner". Last month AOL sold it off, and then a week ago the new owner laid off about 2/3 of the staff. http://jimromenesko.com/2014/01/29/hale-global-lays-off-patch-employees/ _____________________________________________________ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key [email protected] [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
