Patch is your online local news and resource site. It's also the place for community conversation, whether you're commenting on a news item, posting your own photos, videos, announcements and calendar items, blogging on the site or advertising your products and services to Patch readers.

Find Encino-Tarzana Patch at http://encino.patch.com/ and watch for the Woodland Hills Patch, which will launch soon.

Though the Encino-Tarzana and (soon-to-come) Woodland Hills Patch sites are part of a nationwide network of more than 900 sites, these are special because they are YOUR sites, reporting on what matters to you. Please feel free to contact editors Anna King (Encino-Tarzana) at [email protected] and Becca Whitnall (Woodland Hills) at [email protected] with news tips, story ideas and press releases.

If you're interested in advertising, contact David Peck at [email protected].

Services:

Patch offers hyper-local news. If it's happening here, it's on Patch.

We offer a directory of businesses within our sites' neighborhoods that business owners can "claim" as their own (for free). Readers can rate businesses and leave comments to/about the businesses on the directory as well.

We offer a free and easy way to share your events and announcements with the community; let your neighbors know about job promotions, awards, engagements, weddings, the arrival of a new baby and obituaries.

And we offer a variety of very competitive advertising opportunities.
