Arianna Brings HuffPo Blogger Model to Patch.com

A network of free content providers was a boon for Huffington Post, and now Arianna Huffington is hoping it will do the same for the Patch.com websites through a little feature called “Local Voices.” Whatever your take on the unpaid blogger controversy, you have to admire Arianna’s gift for spin:

Today we launch a great new chapter for Patch.com, the national network of hyperlocal sites currently covering community life in 800 towns across America. It’s a vision that will utilize every possible resource to ensure accurate, relevant, and comprehensive coverage of your town: our ever-expanding network of Patch editors and reporters; aggregation of any news affecting your community; and cross-posting and amplifying the work of local bloggers who are already doing great work, providing them an even more powerful platform for expressing their views.
