It's like I say to young people who ask me about going into journalism: If you want to be loved, don't go into this business.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I care deeply about journalism, but we need to be a business.
Journalism doesn't have to be your first love... or your only love. You can come to it in desperation, because you can't think of anything better to do with your life, that it's this or the abyss. But once you get going... it helps if you love it.
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 like to say that journalism is the graduate school from which you never graduate.
There is no doubt that the way journalism worked when I was growing up and getting started has changed forever.
Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.
Nothing is better for a young journalist than to go and write about something that other people don't know about. If you can afford to send yourself to some foreign part, I still think that's by far the best way to break in.
Many people would no more think of entering journalism than the sewage business - which at least does us all some good.
Journalism is not just a cause, it's also a wacky profession.
Journalism is, indeed, a noble calling, and I have much I hope to accomplish in the next phase of my career.
