Hampton-North Hampton Patch is a hub of local news and information for and about Hampton and North Hampton — and launched officially on Monday, June 6, 2011! You'll see a lot of us around town: our editor and contributors will be all over the Hamptons with their laptops, cell phones and cameras, listening to people and covering what they care about. Our mission is simple: to make people's lives better by providing quick and easy access to the local news and information that is most relevant to them. You can find us at hampton-northhampton.patch.com, interact with our editor right here on Facebook, and follow tweets about the communities on Twitter at twitter.com/HamptonNHPatch.
Here's a taste of what you'll find on the site:
News
Hampton-North Hampton Patch's approach to news is professional, passionate, energetic and totally local. Our reporters, stringers and columnists will not only cover local government and school-board issues, but events and people around town and, of course, breaking news. And our stories, photos and videos will go online in minutes—not days.
Information
Hampton-North Hampton Patch is much more than a news site. It will also include a comprehensive events calendar, restaurant reviews, and a rich directory of all of the important places in the Hamptons. We want to be the place you go to find a dentist, a mechanic, an activity for the kids, or the name of the official to call for a building permit or to make a noise complaint. And our listings won't be skimpy Yellow-Pages stuff—we'll provide detailed information like maps, products sold and even photos of every business (If you're a business who wants to be listed, let us know).
You
We're hopeful that our site will make the Hampton and North Hampton communities stronger, but we can't do it without you. We're building Hampton-North Hampton Patch so you'll have plenty of opportunities to comment on stories, share your opinions, post photos and announcements and even add events to our community calendar. Individuals are also able, and encouraged to submit regular blogs to Patch (contact us for more information).
Community
You can't truly serve a community unless you're giving it the help it needs most. Giving back to the Hamptons is hugely important to us. We'll do it both as part of our coverage —in a dedicated area on the site that lets local charities and willing volunteers find each other—and also with a program we call "Give 5," through which we'll provide free advertising space to charitable organizations and donate our own time as volunteers in the Hampton and North Hampton communities.
Who's running this thing?
Every Patch site is staffed with a full-time, professional journalist who acts as reporter, editor and all-around manager. In addition, we use a small army of contributors. If you are a journalist who lives in the area and has significant experience with community reporting and online news, send us an e-mail with your resume.
When can I start using the site?
Now! The site has been up and running since June 6, and the Hampton-North Hampton Patch Facebook and Twitter pages have been up since May 18.
