Your Beliefs

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. Politics

How would you describe your political beliefs? I believe that in order for democracy to work there needs to be an open exchange of ideas. No one has all of the answers but together we might come up with solutions. 

Religion

How religious would you consider yourself? I'm not a very religious person, though I am spiritual in nature and respect the rights of everyone to practice their faith.
