Phone: 646-241-6337
Oxford Local Editor Paul Singley is originally from Naugatuck, CT. He has worked full time in journalism for the past eight years. He covered municipalities in lower Litchfield County and the Naugatuck Valley for the Waterbury Republican-American before joining Patch.
Paul has a master's degree in journalism from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and bachelor's degrees in English and Communications/Sports Journalism from Springfield College.
He also teaches as an adjunct professor at Naugatuck Valley Community College.
In his spare time, he enjoys playing sports, reading and spending time with family, including his wife, Katie, their daughter, Tessa, who was born in March 2011, and their dog, Miles, a chocolate lab.
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 to inject 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.
Politics: Unaffiliated
Local Hot-Button Issues
One of the most important issues facing the community is its rapid growth over the past decade. For many years, people have discussed the trend of families moving out of Fairfield County to the Naugatuck Valley. Within the past 10 years, Oxford has seen that become reality.People from all over are discovering Oxford because of its growing job market, influx of new upscale housing developments, 55 and older communities, a new senior center, the Oxford Greens Golf Course and the newly constructed state-of-the-art Oxford High School.Those have helped Oxford become one of the fastest growing communities in Connecticut. Some welcome the growth, while others do not like such rapid change.It's a fascinating subject that should lend itself to spirited and, hopefully, fruitful debates about which direction the community should strive to head in the future.
