One of the problems that we have as American journalists is that we bring the American cultural baggage with us and we plop it down and it follows us around and that's just a fact of life.

Journalism makes you think fast. You have to speak to people in all walks of life. Especially local journalism.

I can only speak as an American, but most journalism here isn't doing its job any more. It's about selling stuff.

Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring.

Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.

You turn on the TV, and you see very bland interviews. Journalists in the United States are very cozy with power, very close to those in power.

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

In America journalism is apt to be regarded as an extension of history: in Britain, as an extension of conversation.

The quality of life in America is dependent on the quality of the journalism. Most people don't realize that, but if you think about it, journalism is one of the pillars on which our society is perched.

Journalism: an ability to meet the challenge of filling the space.
