Questions for Michael Rosenblum and Brian Farnham
Rosenblum
You talk a lot about having to “own the site”, well that might seem like a good point to make on paper, but in reality it’s almost impossible for everyone to be working for themselves. Lets say that I don’t “own the site”, what should I be doing otherwise? What would be a good area of employment as a journalist that I wouldn’t be “weak” or “begging” for work?
What would the best way to shop around for investors for my website? Where would I begin? Is this possible for anyone to do or do you need to know someone on the inside? Or, if my website is good enough will they find me first?
Farnham
How far are you looking to take Patch? Do you want a Patch in every town, or do you have a target goal? Have you thought about taking Patch into other countries? At what point do you expect these goals to be achieved?
Are there any plans to take Patch into Suffolk County? It seems like you have a lot of Nassau coverage, but it appears that there are no outposts in Suffolk. Is there any particular reason behind this or are you just not quite there yet?
