Political, Government & Public Safety Bloggers Wanted: Share Your Voice on Patch!

by Jon Gargis

Do you work or volunteer with a local government organization or city/county department? Have news you’d like to share (press releases, calendar items, photos) with your community? You’re in luck.

At Patch, we offer a free blogging platform for you to post locally-relevant information, news and events—all while connecting with our established audience of readers close to home. You can even repurpose already-existing content from your own website, newsletter or blog.

Maybe you work with the county library and want to promote news of an upcoming author reading; are a politician who wants to connect with local constituents or have photos from a recent park event you’d like to share.

We’re calling all:

* Politicians and political junkies

* City/county departments/officials

* Fire departments/officials

* Police departments/officials  

* Library staff members and volunteers

* Parks departments and volunteers

Blogging is an easy, fun way to communicate, engage and inform. Best of all, your blog is a place to share everything and anything you'd like (so long as it plays by our Terms of Use).
