I like to say that journalism is the graduate school from which you never graduate.

Journalism is a kind of profession, or craft, or racket, for people who never wanted to grow up and go out into the real world.

I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.

Journalism is a craft that takes years to learn. It's like golf. You never get it right all the time. It's a game of fewer errors, better facts, and better reporting.

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

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

Journalism is literature in a hurry.

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

In a time of transition for journalism all around the world, it's reassuring to know that some of the old ways endure.

Journalism makes you think fast. You have to speak to people in all walks of life. Especially local journalism.
