Journalism still, in a democracy, is the essential force to get the public educated and mobilized to take action on behalf of our ancient ideals.

Journalism is what maintains democracy. It's the force for progressive social change.

The media does play a vital role in our democracy, and if we cannot depend on journalistic ethics, the nation's in trouble.

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.

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.

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 think journalism is important.

I care deeply about journalism, but we need to be a business.

Democracies succeed or fail based on their journalism.

I think journalism is a great way to do public service, to have an impact on your community.
