Patch Cuts 20 Managers, Restructures

AOL’s Patch is cutting 20 managers as it folds its South “zone” into its East zone. The Wall Street Journal reports that the restructuring will allow the hyperlocal news network to dump those staffers, yet keep every one of its 850-plus sites up and running. Jon Brod, CEO of Patch, announced the changes this morning in a memo, which was obtained by the Journal.

“After implementing a more efficient field structure earlier this year, we have seen an impressive boost in both traffic and revenue,” Brod explained in the note.
