Do you think that traditional news media just don't get it anymore? Would you like to run your own local news Web site, where you'll tap the multimedia and social media skills you've mastered to transform community journalism and connect with communities? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, keep reading…

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 as full-time site editors. We see this as nothing less than the future of online journalism. Visit patch.com to learn more about our mission and to visit our news sites.
