In a time of transition for journalism all around the world, it's reassuring to know that some of the old ways endure.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that having a job in journalism, despite all of the changes, is still a fantastic way to be - make a living observing your society and having a chance to use your voice.
I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.
As a journalist for 35 years, and now author for 20, I've learned that there's always more.
I pine for a return to the type of old-school journalism and the tough newspapermen and women of the Thirties.
When I was 26 or 27, I gave up journalism. I came to England after my mom died, to let serendipity take its course. And I just found myself back in journalism again.
I'm fascinated by journalism. I put a keen eye, not a negative eye, on its role, particularly how it is changed by the times we're living in.
Journalists are in the same madly rocking boat as diplomats and statesmen. Like them, when the Cold War ended, they looked for a new world order and found a new world disorder. If making and conducting foreign policy in today's turbulent environment is difficult, so is practicing journalism.
The passion and knowledge of journalism as storytelling is incredibly infectious.
There is no doubt that the way journalism worked when I was growing up and getting started has changed forever.
Journalism is in fact history on the run.
