#Fairfield CT– As we previously reported AOL sold off their remaining interests in the local news sites of The Patch last week to the turnaround firm Hale Global. Numerous editors have been laid off and their biographies taken off line. They were laid off via voicemail. You can here that call by clicking here. Biographies taken down are Fairfield’s Daniel DeBlasio , Stratford’s Jason Bagley , Trumbull’s Aaron Leo and Norwalk’s Leslie Yager Here is a screen shot from the Fairfield Patch:
DoingItLocal is run by Steve Krauchick. Steve has always had interest with breaking news even as an early teen, opting to listen to the Watergate hearings instead of top 40 on the radio. His interest in news spread to become the communities breaking news leader in Connecticut’s Fairfield County. He strongly believes that the public has right to know what is happening in their backyard and that government needs to be transparent. Steve also likes promoting local businesses.
