 There's tumult in digital journalism, too. The fading of Patch and the expansion of GoLocal24 beyond New England to Portland, Ore., is covered by Ken Doctor on the Nieman Journalism Lab site. Both city/area-wide and local news are needed on digital sites, he feels, "given that Patch's belief that hyperlocal was enough to build a business might have been its most fatal flaw."
