Journalism is not writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
God, newspapers have been making up stories forever. This kind of trifling and fooling around is not a function of the New Journalism.
To a journalist, good news is often not news at all.
Journalism is irrepressible. It can't be taken away.
Journalism is a flawed profession, but it has a self-correcting mechanism. The rule of journalism is: talk to everybody.
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 literature in a hurry.
Except for politics, no business is scrutinized more exhaustively than journalism.
Journalists write because they have nothing to say, and have something to say because they write.
Journalism never admits that nothing much is happening.
