Journalism is the protection between people and any sort of totalitarian rule. That's why my hero, admittedly a flawed one, is a journalist.

The thing that bothers me about journalism is the false equivalency we sometimes place on certain issues.

In journalism, there has always been a tension between getting it first and getting it right.

If journalism is good, it is controversial, by its nature.

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 it's this congenital problem with journalism that we oversell the difference we make. We make small differences.

A journalist covering politics, most of us are aware of the necessity to try to be sure we're unbiased in our reporting. That's one of the fundamentals of good journalism.

In this day and age, much of journalism is about right or left, conservative or liberal, and 'The Observer' is just that: an observer. It is about truth.
