<strong>Your Beliefs</strong>
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know.
<b>Politics</b>
How do you describe your political beliefs ? Are you registered with any political party?
I am not registered with any political party. I believe that the best candidate/politician is someone who is looking out for the best interests of the people, whether it conflicts with their personal ideals or not. I think it is important to hear both sides of an argument when considering making even the smallest changes that will effect everyday people.
<b><b>Religion</b></b>
How religious would you consider yourself? (casual, observant, devout, non religious)
I am a Christian. I believe in God and pray everyday. That being said I respect every persons' right to believe in what they believe. That's what makes this country great!
