There is a huge difference between journalism and advertising. Journalism aspires to truth. Advertising is regulated for truth. I'll put the accuracy of the average ad in this country up against the average news story any time.

Journalism is about results. It's about affecting your community or your society in the most progressive way.

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 still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.

I'm not sophisticated when it comes to politics, when it comes to journalism.

Art is art, and journalism is journalism.

The fundamentals of what journalism is about don't necessarily change. What will change is the delivery of news.

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.

I like to say that journalism is the graduate school from which you never graduate.

The first essence of journalism is to know what you want to know, the second, is to find out who will tell you.
