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.

I think the key to being a journalist is getting your subject to feel comfortable enough to talk about stuff they want to talk about and the stuff they like and don't like, and still feel comfortable about it.

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

Journalism makes you think fast. You have to speak to people in all walks of life. Especially local journalism.

There are a lot of really good skills you get from doing journalism - it completely changed my world and how I interact with other people.

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 always like to have a buffer between me and journalism in general. Not just a reporter, but journalism.

Journalism is a flawed profession, but it has a self-correcting mechanism. The rule of journalism is: talk to everybody.

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.

Journalism, for me, has always been a calling. There are things that must be exposed to the light, truths that must be uncovered, stories worth risking your life for.
