I've always talked to the media. I'm pretty respectful to the media.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I respect very much the role of the media in our society; I think they can be very, very helpful. They serve as a very useful check, sort of a watchdog over the actions of the government, and I respect that.
I am now using media as a tool to bring attention to marginalized people.
I cover media people the way they cover politicians.
I was in a profession that received a lot of media.
I've given up on being accurately portrayed in the media.
I've never really had a media edifice supporting me.
The media chooses to portray the most extreme and violent aspects of a place. I do the opposite and portray the normality.
I am not anti-media at all. But the media, the news anywhere in the world, is based on drama.
When I first started out, I really felt like, 'I'm a journalist; I will be respected as a neutral observer.' And I don't feel like that holds true anymore. I don't think people respect journalists the same way they once did.
I think for more than half of my career, I have refrained from talking to the media.
