JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Now, the idea of Patch Media is that there's a SINGLE editor/reporter/writer for each town covered. Choose the major city of your choice. Name a suburb. One person is tasked to do the leg work for every single thing in that suburb, whether 5,000 or 100,000 strong and write every story for it each day. Populate with police blotters and user-submitted content for whatever the local high schools or churches are doing. Sprinkle with AOL-provided content. Get paid $12.50/hr for your efforts. Repeat.

Pretty much sounds like what newspapers are doing right now anyway, but instead of AOL-provided content it's just endless Associated Press reprints to fill in the endless gaps of what once might have been local reporting
