We're newspaper junkies; I can't imagine life without a newspaper.

From the beginning on, newspapers have prospered for one reason: giving readers the news that they want.

One-newspaper towns are not good because all the surviving newspaper does is print money. They make 25 percent on their money every year, and if they go down to 22 percent, they start laying people off.

The newspaper is dying. I'm not sure there will be newspapers and its one business I'd never be in.

I think that a great newspaper is one that puts a real premium on digging to get the story behind the story.

American newspapers are dying mostly because they were so dull for so long, a whole generation gave up on them.

There is a long history of newspapers being doomed. They were doomed by radio. They were doomed by television. They were probably doomed by the telegraph way back when.

Newspapers always excite curiosity. No one ever puts one down without the feeling of disappointment.

The newspaper is a marvelous medium. It is extraordinarily convenient and cheap. Let's see. This one cost 75 cents. Now that's a little high. I bought it when I was downtown this morning.

I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.
