Journalism talk is part of the nonstop background noise of American life.
I have very strong theories about magazine publishing. And I think that it is the most personal form of journalism. And I think that a magazine is an old friend.
In a time of transition for journalism all around the world, it's reassuring to know that some of the old ways endure.
I've been able to write at least one book a year for 20 years, and I don't think I would've had that kind of drive if I hadn't come out of the journalism business.
There is no more respected or influential forum in the field of journalism than the New York Times. I look forward, with great anticipation, to contributing to its op-ed page.
We believe that the best Web content optimization strategy is something as old as journalism itself: the shocking truth and the authentic opinion.
I think the term 'fair reporting' is overused when it comes to journalism. I think saying they want to report evenly is more accurate.
I believe that 'advocacy journalism' is not an oxymoron. If that means that I'm going to disrupt the cable, partisan fracas of obsession over what this means from left and right, then so be it. I will be disruptive of it.
I start each of my scripts by going on a journey of painstaking research and discovery, much as I do a piece of long-lead journalism.
Pandering to the scandal hungry public is a total lack of responsible journalism.
A lot of journalism wants to have what they call objectivity without them having a commitment to pursuing the truth, but that doesn't work. Objectivity requires belief in and a commitment toward pursuing the truth - having an object outside of our personal point of view.
The stories about epidemics that are told in the American press - their plots and tropes - date to the nineteen-twenties, when modern research science, science journalism, and science fiction were born.
In journalism it is simpler to sound off than it is to find out. It is more elegant to pontificate than it is to sweat.
I've always performed. From the time that I was little, I was pretty precocious and always gravitated toward performing arts. But I was scared at first, deciding to do it for a living. So, initially, I majored in journalism, and I was pretty miserable.
One of the most important disciplines in journalism is to challenge your working premises.
Profiles aren't journalism.
I don't really think of 'Frontline' as a strictly public affairs series; I think of it as a work of journalism that is constantly reinventing itself.
My first qualification is I didn't go to Columbia Journalism School.
I want my work to influence public conversation, to turn heads, and to bear witness to this problem that's raging in our cities. If journalism helps me with that, I'll draw on journalism... and I'm not going to worry too much if academics get troubled over that distinction.
Ratings don't last. Good journalism does.
