Fenway, We Want You To Tell Your Story

FENWAY, MA —Hey Fenway folks, we've got some Patch news. We want to revitalize the Fenway Patch, giving this neighborhood the local news source it deserves. And we can't do it alone.

What we want for the Fenway Patch is probably the same as what you want: Transparent, complete, accountable reporting and information about what's happening in this specific community - from opinions on the new development happening in the neighborhood to street closing to restaurant reviews or Fenway Park musings. Who better to help connect and inform neighbors than you? Whether you just moved here or you've earned local knowledge after being here for years, you have a lot to offer your neighbors.

So we're reaching out to the community in hopes you offer your local voice in the online "pages" of Patch. We want you to become a Patch Mayor.

What's a Patch Mayor? It means you'll be able to:

• Spread the word to your neighbors and fellow residents about about charity events, local celebrations, civic issues, big games, the new store or restaurant, people worth knowing — and more — through your posts.
• Guide local conversations as the host of your Patch.
• Reach your neighbors and fellow residents through daily newsletters and Facebook.
• Earn the recognition of your Patch community.

The Fenway Patch is looking for local contributors: from columnists to bloggers to photographers to people who know there's a local fundraiser happening and can pop it onto the calendar to share it with the rest of the community.

It really is you we're looking for: If you love neighborhood history or have a take on businesses that come and go; if you run a company or frequent a coffee shop or a taco joint, then you belong on Patch.

You might even belong as Mayor of the Fenway Patch.

What's a Patch Mayor in 2018, you say?

• A Patch Mayor is someone who uses Patch and our Facebook and Twitter pages to spread the word about about charity events, local celebrations, civic issues, weather, high school sports, new restaurants or businesses, and, well, what's going on.
• They spark and guide local conversations as the host of your Patch about what's happening nearby — be it sweeping changes in the neighborhood's demographics, potholes or lost pets.
• And they'll be published on Patch, reaching thousands of their neighbors and people nearby wondering what's happening around this nook of the city.

So if you want to help your Fenway neighbors connect with one another and can donate some time to helping them understand the neighborhood click here. I look forward to hearing from you.

Oh, hey.
Are you still there? Is "mayor" not exactly your jam? No worries, we still want your local expertise - from those photos you took of the wildlife (ok, cute dogs) to your take on a new restaurant- to inform and entertain the community. We're looking for columnists, contributors, and photographers to represent Fenway in a way only you can.
