Around the web

 

Before coming to Patch, Kevin wrote for The Journal News, Roadbike Magazine and several other periodicals, both in print and online.

Kevin graduated Franklin and Marshall College—located in southern Pennsylvania—with degrees in writing and history. While in school, he was editor-in-chief of the independent campus newspaper The College Reporter. As editor, he launched the paper's first-ever website and helped garner the Reporter several awards from the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association (PNA). 

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.

Just wondering what happened to Ken Sharp's blog, "Daddy on the Edge?" I really enjoyed it and looked forward to reading it.
