<b>Your Beliefs </b>
<i>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 </i><i>evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know. </i>
<b>Politics </b>
I am not a member of any political party. I evaluate political candidates the way I evaluate everyone else—as individuals. I believe issues are more important than political parties, and partisanship should take a back seat to public interest.
<b>Religion </b>
I'm a Christian. In very basic terms, this means that I live my life as though I'm accountable to someone—someone who knows everything I do, and every thought, intention and feeling that I have. Compassion and honesty are two qualities I try to live by, and value in others. In my life and in my career, I hope to make a positive difference in people's lives.
