Somerville Patch

Has anyone noticed a drop in the quality of the information in the Somerville Patch? It does not have as many Somerville centric articles. Now the articles seem to be very generic and have little of the political
scene. Has Chris Orchard left?

Patch fired Chris Orchard in January. They fired several other popular local editors (such as Belmont's and Waltham's) around the same time.

I've repeatedly suggested that the replacement editor, John Waller, introduce himself on Facebook or LJ to discuss his vision and plans for Somerville Patch, but he hasn't replied to any of my suggestions. Maybe he'll be more responsive to you. The e-mail address currently on the site is Somerville@Patch.com , but maybe also try john.waller@patch.com .

Thanks, Ron. Barely even read the Patch now. Why did they fire Chis Orchard?

Better to ask him (or his successor) than me. Or ask these people.
