Want More Local News In Waltham? Become A Waltham Patch Member

WALTHAM, MA — A vibrant local news destination is built upon a strong relationship between two things: dependable, timely journalism and an informed, involved community sharing their knowledge, experiences and opportunity.

My name is Jenna Fisher and I have been the editor and reporter of the Waltham Patch for about two years now. I grew up in Northern Virginia and moved to the area about a decade ago after a bit of traveling. (Side note: You may also recognize my name if you're a fan of "The Office.") I can often be found hanging out in Cafe on The Common, racing over to the Fire Department Head Quarters to chat about developments with the new Moody Street fire station, reporting on of the many festivals on the Common or checking out one of Moody Street's fabulous restaurants.

Most importantly, I try to keep residents updated, local government transparent and the community engaged in what's going on.

Patch is launching a membership program in Waltham to support local reporting in our community, while at the same time offering a real value to community organizers and influencers. For $5/month or $50/year here’s what you’ll get:

• Promoted status on your local announcement and events posts in Waltham
• A member badge next to your Patch username
• An invitation to an ongoing dialogue with Patch executives on the future of local news
• The joy of belonging to a group of your neighbors who support community journalism in Waltham

Money raised through the Patch Membership program will be invested directly back into your Waltham Patch to create more local content. We strongly believe that Improving what we provide you, our readers, will only help make Waltham a stronger and more connected community.
