What Do You Want to See on Barrington Patch?

I’ve been the editor of Barrington Patch since the site launched in September of 2010. Through my reporting and interaction with community members, I have learned a lot about what residents are looking for regarding our neighborhood news coverage. (Watch our which aired the day Barrington Patch was born!)

However, our readership changes and grows every day, and keeping up with the latest desires of Barrington Patch readers and subscribers isn’t always easy. That’s why I’m reaching out to all of you personally to ask what you would like to see on Barrington Patch. Do you want to see more crime news? Sports coverage? Business profiles? Leave a comment at the end of this article to let me know what you’d like to read about and I’ll do my best to meet your desires.

That said, I’m only one person, and can’t cover everything. That’s why we have Local Voices in place. If you are involved in an organization and want to write about its happenings, we invite you to write as part of our Local Voices team. We already have writers from many organizations ranging from sports teams to church groups to hospitals and libraries. Here’s how to join: http://barrington-il.patch.com/blog/apply
