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

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

I think journalism is important.

I think journalism is useful training for a writer in the way it takes the preciousness out of the pragmatic side of the craft.

I think that having a job in journalism, despite all of the changes, is still a fantastic way to be - make a living observing your society and having a chance to use your voice.

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.

Good journalism, I think, represents life and if you try to organize something too neatly it usually blows up in your face and doesn't really happen the way you want it to.

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, indeed, a noble calling, and I have much I hope to accomplish in the next phase of my career.

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.
