Bio

Paul Milo, co-editor of Newark Patch, studied philosophy at Montclair State University immediately prior to starting in journalism in 1998. Milo, a Lodi native, has spent his entire career covering Essex County communities. He has won nearly a dozen state press awards, including an award for a story debunking rumors that coffee shop workers were seen celebrating immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks and another award for an editorial critical of questionable campaign tactics used during a local election. 
His freelance work has appeared in several publications, including Editor and Publisher, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and  Gizmodo.com. His first book, Your Flying Car Awaits: Robot Butlers, Lunar Vacations and Other Dead Wrong Predictions of the 20th Century, was published in November 2009 by HarperCollins. He has been interviewed about his book on WNYC radio's Brian Lehrer show, by The New York Times and on Canadian television, among other outlets.  
In his spare time Milo likes to hike and fish in the wilds of western Jersey. He also obsessively jots down story ideas for Patch on any scrap of paper available.

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 them to inject their beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that their beliefs are on the record will cause them 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?

Like a lot of people of my generation and younger, I'm not wedded to either of the major political parties - I'm  a classic swing voter. I tend to support candidates who talk to me like I'm an adult, who are fiscally responsible and who respect every American's right to conduct their private lives however they see fit. 

Are you registered with a certain party?

No, but I vote. 

Religion
How religious would you consider yourself? (casual, observant, devout, non religious) 

A thorough answer would be very long, so for the sake of brevity I'll just say this: I try to live my life by the precept "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." 

Local Hot-Button Issues
What do you think are the most important issues facing the community?

So, so many here in Newark, but for the sake of selecting one I'd say managing development in such a way that working families are not eventually priced out of the city. 

Where do you stand on each of these issues?

Newark has to do things differently than other cities that simply allowed gentriication and correspondingly high rents that squeezed out the working class. Many might look at Newark today and scoff, but a lof of areas in the region - Hoboken, parts of Brooklyn - were once where Newark is today in terms of development. Newark should remain a place that's not only culturally diverse but socioeconomically as well.
