A free, analytical and questioning press must be helped survive.

I am incredibly proud of the many journalists I have worked with throughout my career and the great campaigns that we have fought and won.

U.S. journalists I don't think are very courageous. They tend to go along with the government's policy domestically and internationally. To question is seen as being unpatriotic, or potentially subversive.

The most important responsibility we have as journalists is to question those who are in power. I honestly believe that.

In essence, I see the value of journalism as resting in a twofold mission: informing the public of accurate and vital information, and its unique ability to provide a truly adversarial check on those in power.

Unfortunately, the attitude of many towards the press, humanitarians included and especially government workers, is often one of suspicion, if not outright fear.

Working with the media remains an effective and essential way to raise issues, educate the public, and prod policy-makers and corporate leaders to change for the better.

I think journalism is important.

The mission of the press is to spread culture while destroying the attention span.

The democratic approach to news is a very valuable thing. We're always going to be dependent on the quality of reporting of mainstream media.
