Journalism students need to understand it and need a solid background in the liberal arts, in sociology, economics, literature and language, because they won't get it later on.

If journalism is good, it is controversial, by its nature.

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

I've taught a college journalism course at two universities where my students taught me more than I did them about how political news is consumed.

Themes around education and learning run through my work.

The left controls academia, the culture, and the news media.

I tried to steer the student newspaper toward more pertinent information instead of the usual gossip and bull.
