At News Corporation, we have a history of challenging media orthodoxies.

Journalism is in fact history on the run.
Working on 'Newsroom' has given me an appreciation of the struggle that you go through on the 24-hour news cycle. The people who are legitimately attempting to deliver honest news are really facing a tough, uphill climb that's a lot harder than any other time in history.
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.
As journalists, we keep pushing and pushing.
The media has become more forceful, has begun to recognize its traditional historic role and act on it, and truth is infectious.
Perhaps the biggest problem in journalism is the cult divide between journalists and corporate owners.
Journalism has a special, hallowed place for stories of its practitioners' persecution.
Today we all are enjoying the fruits of the digital era. Millions of sources of information coming at us at lightning fast speed. That technology has also democratized the gathering and dissemination of news, allowing for 'citizen journalists' to make their mark, even usurping the role of mainstream news organizations at times.
News, by and large, has been the purest of all the television mediums, or at least we've tried to keep it that way, and there constantly is the argument about the separation between church and state.
The mainstream press and television do a very soft job of covering the press, either as corporate entities or as news organizations.
