AOL Vows to Expand Patch.com

AOL’s Patch.com initiative is no longer just a handful of local sites in the Greater New York Tri-State area. In fact, the company is planning a massive expansion of its fledgling local journalism project by the end of this year.

Officials at AOL have just confirmed the launch of the 100th Patch site, in Morristown, N.J. And by the end of 2010, AOL expects to operate 500 Patch sites in 20 states and to hire more than 500 journalists.
