Oh Snap: Hyperlocal Trade Group Won't Include Patch

The newly-formed trade group’s leader, Mike Fourcher of Center Square Journal in Chicago, told Street Fight that it will unite hyperlocal publishers “around common business interests and offer services that small publishers may not have access to on their own, such as health insurance.”
