The umbrella home page for Patch looks better than anything we saw during the AOL era. It features crisp, clean
highlighting of current content and an inviting black-and-white thumbnail grid that clicks through to some so-called
Star Patchers. Today, the new Patch also posted an ad for reporters
across New Jersey.
In the About section, the Hale Global era is stamped with a rather unusual signpost. Check out the bio that
sits directly to the left of those of chairman
Charles Hale and editor-in-chief
Warren St. John:
The rebooted version of Patch appears to have moved towards more of an Examiner model. While some might bemoan that development, the fact that an operation doomed by overly aggressive expansion is still Web live and Your-Face-Here hiring qualifies as a minor media miracle.
