Connecticut Newspapers Lose Reporters To Hyperlocal News Websites

-- The AOl "Patch" service is hiring, The New Haven Advocate reported on October 15, 2010:

"...reporters at various Connecticut newspapers were being hired away by the new Patch hyperlocal Web operations.

The Meriden Record-Journal lost its Wallingford town hall reporter, Dave Moran, and its Southington reporter, Leslie Hutchinson. The Waterbury Republican-American saw Paul Singley, who had been covering Naugatuck, jump to become a local reporter for Patch.

One reporter who attended Singley’s going-away party last week, said Singley was saying he will be getting thousands of dollars more a year to work for Patch than he was making at the Waterbury paper."
