All of the violence that doesn't occur doesn't get reported on the news.

It's nice to know about something as soon as it happens, and obviously a newspaper can't provide that.

News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.

News reports don't change the world. Only facts change it, and those have already happened when we get the news.

Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.

False news, when combined with social media, can wreak havoc thanks to its potential of reaching millions in a short span. The effects can be quite disturbing.

There's no such thing as good news in America.

It's always unfortunate when a reporter is sent behind bars for failing to turn over sources. There's no way to say what the long-term outcome will be.

I can't think in terms of journalism without thinking in terms of political ends. Unless there's been a reaction, there's been no journalism. It's cause and effect.

Newspapers do a good job telling me what happened yesterday, but they'd be a lot more impressive if they could tell me what's going to happen tomorrow.
