Quote

I got into journalism because I came of age in the '60s. It just seemed one way for me to get things done.

When I was 26 or 27, I gave up journalism. I came to England after my mom died, to let serendipity take its course. And I just found myself back in journalism again.

When I got a little older, I started writing for the high school newspaper, 'The Maroon Wave,' and that's when I fell in love with journalism.

I was a newspaper editor in high school, and I truly thought of journalism as a career. I loved it.

I pine for a return to the type of old-school journalism and the tough newspapermen and women of the Thirties.

I had discovered journalism to be my life's ambition.

There is no doubt that the way journalism worked when I was growing up and getting started has changed forever.

I always wanted to be some kind of writer or newspaper reporter. But after college... I did other things.

I always like to have a buffer between me and journalism in general. Not just a reporter, but journalism.

After I left high school and got my GED, I studied broadcast journalism for a year at a community college.
