Journalism seems to have recovered its reason for being.

People may expect too much of journalism. Not only do they expect it to be entertaining, they expect it to be true.

My own view, there is a need for and a demonstrated need for more journalism now than there ever has been.

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 in the reporting part of journalism.

I'm not in the judgment part of journalism.

I've created a vocabulary of different styles. I draw from many different ways to take a picture. Sometimes I go back to reportage, to journalism.

When I started working for Rolling Stone, I became very interested in journalism and thought maybe that's what I was doing, but it wasn't.

A long life in journalism convinced me many presidents ago that there should be a large air space between a journalist and the head of a state.

You find the most important thing that really grabs you, and put it right up top. Don't bury the lead. Put it at the top. Best thing to do. Never go wrong that way. It's an immutable law of journalism. It just always works.

I worked for a newspaper in Europe for, I lived in Europe for about seven years, so I worked in this sort of a yellow journalism kind of a thing, it was like a scandal sheet.

I came over here and worked for rock magazines, and I worked for Rolling Stone, which has a very high standard of journalism, a very good research department.

I suggest that what we want to do is not to leave to posterity a great institution, but to leave behind a great tradition of journalism ably practiced in our time.

Publishing is a business, but journalism never was and is not essentially a business. Nor is it a profession.

I started on the fringes of journalism as a cartoonist on The Daily Mail.

Journalism is concerned with events, poetry with feelings. Journalism is concerned with the look of the world, poetry with the feel of the world.

Journalism wishes to tell what it is that has happened everywhere as though the same things had happened for every man. Poetry wishes to say what it is like for any man to be himself in the presence of a particular occurrence as though only he were alone there.

Local television news, on both radio and television, is so appalling. Makes print journalism look like the greatest stuff ever written.

I think almost every newspaper in the United States has lost circulation due to the Internet. I also think the Internet will lead to a lot of plagiarism in journalism.

I want the news delivered unbiased. I thought that was the whole point with journalism.
