Huffington Post to Launch Detroit and Miami Sites

Local efforts could renew concerns about Patch

The Huffington Post will launch two new city pages in November, Adweek has learned: HuffPost Detroit and HuffPost Miami.

HuffPo has been launching a lot of new topic pages lately, enough so that the announcement of two additions might normally not be newsworthy. But the launch of these two local sites, confirmed by AOL's vice president of communications, renews the concerns about another AOL property: Patch, the company’s costly venture into citizen-generated local news.

By all accounts, the Patch experiment, launched in 2009 and now overseen by HuffPo editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington, doesn’t seem to be working.
