We're Patch.com, a start-up that's radically reinventing community
journalism. We launched in February 2009 and we currently operate more
than 50 local news sites in towns with populations under 70,000 and now
we're expanding again! Patch is founded on two core principles: that
news matters in towns across the country and that we can create a
successful business model to sustain it. Even as many newsrooms have
been downsized or shut down, Patch is investing significantly to create
news sites to produce meaningful daily and enterprise journalism and
pioneer new forms of storytelling to serve our communities using our
dynamic platform. We have won acclaim in the industry and coverage in
The New York Times, Forbes Magazine, Bloomberg, NPR's "Talk of the
Nation," "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer," and numerous industry blogs
and Web sites. We've recently also announced Patch.org, a new initiative
that will allow us to collaborate with local foundations and journalism
schools to cover underserved communities.
Patch.com is looking for smart, innovative journalists to join our team
