I've already become a mastodon in print - I don't see a consciousness for my kind of journalism.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.
I care deeply about journalism, but we need to be a business.
As I occasionally survey the pack of sycophantic shih tzus in the Washington press corps, wriggling on their bellies to kiss the feet of those in power, I feel plumb discouraged about the future of journalism.
If the next thing I do is not necessarily filling the role of 'the future of journalism,' it'll probably be whatever is making me happiest, and that's enough for me.
The dirty little secret of journalism is that it really isn't a profession, it's a craft. All you need is a telephone and a conscience and you're all set.
I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.
I can't think of any other job in journalism where the newsmakers come to you.
I think of myself as a journalist and a storyteller.
I don't want to see the end of popular print journalism.
Journalism is, indeed, a noble calling, and I have much I hope to accomplish in the next phase of my career.
