The newspaper fits the reader's program while the listener must fit the broadcaster's program.

A newspaper consists of just the same number of words, whether there be any news in it or not.
Local television news, on both radio and television, is so appalling. Makes print journalism look like the greatest stuff ever written.
From the beginning on, newspapers have prospered for one reason: giving readers the news that they want.
Journalism as theater is what TV news is.
I haven't read a newspaper in 20 years. I don't look at the computer or anything. You have to have a filter on what you let in.
The newspaper is a marvelous medium. It is extraordinarily convenient and cheap. Let's see. This one cost 75 cents. Now that's a little high. I bought it when I was downtown this morning.
Newspaper reporting is really storytelling. We call our articles 'stories,' and we try to tell them in a way that even people who don't know all the background can understand them.
The printed newspaper is a powerful showcase for news, opinion and advertising.
The newspaper is, in fact, very bad for one's prose style. That's why I gravitated towards feature stories where you get a little more leeway in the writing style.
TV journalism is a much more collaborative, horizontal business than print reporting. It has to be, because of the logistics. Anchors are wholly dependent on producers to do all the hustling.
