I think it's this congenital problem with journalism that we oversell the difference we make. We make small differences.

Journalism is a flawed profession, but it has a self-correcting mechanism. The rule of journalism is: talk to everybody.

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.

One of the sad things about contemporary journalism is that it actually matters very little. The world now is almost inured to the power of journalism. The best journalism would manage to outrage people. And people are less and less inclined to outrage.

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

The central dilemma in journalism is that you don't know what you don't know.

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

If you believe in journalism, you don't insult good journalists.

Journalism is irrepressible. It can't be taken away.

I think journalism gets measured by the quality of information it presents, not the drama or the pyrotechnics associated with us.
