Question of the Day: What Should Patch Do in 2012?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

New Year's Resolutions are about three weeks old, which means many people have forgotten about theirs already. But at Patch, we're still looking to establish ours. We take pride in bringing you everything local from news and sports to photos and video. But we also know we're not perfect. So for today's questions, we want to know: What do you want to see more of on Wilmington Patch in 2012? Is there a specific group that you feel warrants more coverage? Do you want to see more video? Who in town do you want to hear from this year? Is there something we do that you want to see less of or that needs improvement? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below, and help us make Wilmington Patch even better in 2012.

What would you improve about Wilmington Patch? What topic do you …

I would like the actual headline news be part of my email instead of these vague headlines: 5 things you need to know, locations in Wilmington. I like to scan what's news. I also don't think the Patchcast videos really add much if it's just someone talking. How about more feature articles about people and newsy stuff like High School approved or Panera moving in. Maybe it's all there but the …   more ›
