Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.

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

I think journalism is important.

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

Journalism, for me, has always been a calling. There are things that must be exposed to the light, truths that must be uncovered, stories worth risking your life for.

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.

Journalism allows its readers to witness history; fiction gives its readers an opportunity to live it.

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.

Journalism is a flawed profession, but it has a self-correcting mechanism. The rule of journalism is: talk to everybody.
