James Rainey: No Longer For J-Schoolers, Patch is Picking Up Seasoned Pros
Over the weekend, the LA Times‘ James Rainey profiled LA’s ever expanding Patch network. He especially focused in on Patch’s newfound ability to recruit experienced journos, like former LA Times reporter Nancy Wride at the Belmont Shore Patch.
Rainey’s take:
The news pros are bringing writing chops and a touch of savvy to the fledgling news operation, which has been better known as the first employer of recent journalism school grads. Patch needs that kind of consistency — not the burnout and turnover that afflicted some of its initial battalion of young editors — if it is to build credibility in communities where it’s still largely unknown.
