Joe Hart

Joe Hart is the editor of Bensalem Patch. Prior to joining Patch in November, Joe spent the last four years at the Jersey Shore as an online editor/reporter for the Cape May County Herald, a free weekly community newspaper serving your favorite shore points from Ocean City to Cape May Point. As a reporter, Joe covered the Wildwoods, Sea Isle City and the county seat in Cape May Court House. He wrote stories on everything from courts to sports and everywhere in between. As online editor, Joe managed the Herald's website and social media presence, growing CapeMayCountyHerald.com into the premier news site in the county. While at the Herald, Joe was selected to participate in the Society of Professional Journalist's Reporters Institute, an annual fellowship held at the prestigious Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Florida. Having grown up in Northeast Philly, Joe leapt at the opportunity to serve as editor of Bensalem.Patch.com, where he will be right next door to family and friends. He hopes to bring the Bensalem community a new level of professional, community journalism that they haven't had before now. Joe attended Cardinal Dougherty High School (gone but not forgotten) and has a B.A. in English from LaSalle University. Go Explorers! Joe is a big Philadelphia sports fan, especially the Phillies. He can't believe the Phils just signed Cliff Lee again. With four legitimate aces, they're going to be tough to beat. When he's not watching the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers or Sixers, Joe is either working, reading or spending time with his two boys — Liam, 12, and Aidan, 7.
