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.

Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring.

To conclude: good journalism is one of the models of good conversation and communication in the wider social context.

People may expect too much of journalism. Not only do they expect it to be entertaining, they expect it to be true.

The focus of entertainment is taking away from what the public needs as news. I think investigative journalism will always be important and always find its way, be it on the Internet or wherever.

It's the nature of journalism to need to be close to your subjects. And either you're able to be tough on them, which a lot of us are, or you get in bed with them, and some people do.

Speaking generally, people who are drawn to journalism are interested in what happens from the ground up less than they are from the top down.

I think journalism gets measured by the quality of information it presents, not the drama or the pyrotechnics associated with us.

Maybe it is because of Facebook or something else, but I have been interested in journalism for a long time.

One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage.
