khari.johnson@patch.com Phone 619-922-2735 Hometown San Diego Birthday Feb. 2 Bio I was born and raised in San Diego and I graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in print and online journalism. I have worked for newspapers, magazines and websites in the Bay Area and San Diego, Colorado Springs and south Florida. Before working for Patch I was a freelance writer, photographer and video producer for startup online news publications like eastcountymagazine.org, San Diego News Network and The People's Post, a collaboration between the Media Arts Center of San Diego and voiceofsandiego.org. I also routinely took pictures for non-profit and civic organizations, musicians, churches and other clients. 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 reject the idea that political party must equate to certain political beliefs. Politicians may lead us to believe otherwise but that's not how people live their lives or how they should form their opinions. Political philosophy is relevant but so is a person's life experiences which create perspectives and point of view. My views typically lean to the left, but I follow reason and rationale. Education should always be a priority. Are you registered with a certain party? I'm not sure but I have registered as a Democrat in the past. Religion I try to observe virtues Christianity taught me like humility, social justice and loving your neighbor.
