Quote

If you're a good journalist, what you do is live a lot of things vicariously, and report them for other people who want to live vicariously.

Don't pretend to be a journalist if you're not a journalist.

A good journalist is modest; his only job is simple: to decide what counts as news.

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

I'm an expert on the NewsHour and it isn't how I practice journalism. I am not involved in the story. I serve only as a reporter or someone asking questions. I am not the story.

I'm a journalist, I run to the fire, that's what we do.

I make friends faster and easier than journalists.

I'm a huge news junkie. I love what the news does.

I can't think of any other job in journalism where the newsmakers come to you.

I always like to have a buffer between me and journalism in general. Not just a reporter, but journalism.
