Sue Toth, Patch Staff
- Jefferson, NJ
Sue has been a journalist for more than two decades. She got her start in community journalism, covering several Morris County towns for North Jersey Media Group. Sue has also taught literature, writing, journalism and public speaking to high school and college students at Morris County schools.
She is married and has three teenaged children.
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 us to inject our beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that our beliefs are on the record will cause us 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.<br><br><b>Politics </b><br>How would you describe your political beliefs? A little bit of everything.<br>Are you registered with a certain party? No, and while I vote candidate rather than party, I do tend to vote Democrat more than Republican.<br><br><b>Religion</b><br>How religious would you consider yourself? I'm a casual Catholic.<br><b><br>Local Hot-Button Issues</b><br>What do you think are the most important issues facing the community? One of the most pressing issues, in my mind, is the divisiveness between the Oak Ridge and Lake Hopatcong sides of Jefferson Township, particularly in terms of the school board and youth sports teams.<br>Where do you stand on each of these issues? I would like to see this change to more of a sense of community, particularly since we have one school district, and one middle school and high school. All students from both sides of town come together to play sports from middle school age on, and they should be each others's supporters, not detractors.
