I think when money starts to corrupt journalism it undermines the journalism and it undermines the credibility of the product and you end up not succeeding.

I want to go to college to study journalism. I want to speak French fluently to travel. My mom was a journalist and it's in my blood.

My mom was truly an iconic figure a great journalist and a pioneering woman who died at 54 of cancer without ever having revealed to viewers that she was ill.

I think my love of journalizing my life comes from my mom.

I don't practice but I am still officially in paediatrics. I keep in touch with journals and I have a very good data bank of medical information and there is a key thing for a writer knowing where to go. I know where to go to get the information that I need.

After I read all the medical journals and watched all the documentaries I still didn't understand the physical sensation of ticking and where it comes from and what it feels like.

Things happened there that I don't think are the finest hours for anybody whether it was a journalist the legal system or in that case of the political system who would say that was an example of when Washington worked best.

Probably having fallen in love with music and movies at a young age and then first learning about writing by kind of following the path of writers like Dave Marsh and Lester Bangs and being a rock journalist.

The things journalists should pay attention to are the issues the political leadership agrees on rather than to their supposed antagonisms.

When it came to political power blacks need not apply. Add to this steaming stew the growing tensions over the Vietnam War and the movement for civil rights and you had plenty of elements to fire the imagination of a novice journalist.

We need to recognise that the whole edifice of our fifth estate of our journalism has been built on a foundation of newspaper journalism and that that foundation is crumbling. The management of the media companies will deny that the end is nigh. I hope they are right.

Journalists say a thing that they know isn't true in the hope that if they keep on saying it long enough it will be true.

I think journalists have the right to their opinions but I think their opinions should be based on history and what they see not what they feel how long they've been waiting or whether it's raining or it's snowing or whatever.

The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken.

Journalists should denounce government by public opinion polls.

For me journalism has been more a matter of projecting a particular approach to covering policies to covering issues. It was a continuation of what I tried to do in government.

I think there's a future where the Web and print coexist and they each do things uniquely and complement each other and we have what could be the ultimate and best-yet array of journalistic venues.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is a form of service journalism. To be successful I think it has to be a combination of a good story it has to be funny and it also needs to be packed with useful information.

If one more 'journalist' makes a cavalier statement about me and my band I will personally or with my fans' help greet them at their home and discover just how much they believe in their freedom of speech.

I keep telling myself to calm down to take less of an interest in things and not to get so excited but I still care a lot about liberty freedom of speech and expression and fairness in journalism.

I think people are smart enough to sort it out. They know when they're watching one of these food fight shows where journalists sit around and yell and scream at each other versus serious issue reporting.

No journalist has ever been in my house and no photographs have ever been taken of where I live. I don't parade my family out for display which is the way it will stay.

I am sensitive to the value of faith and religion and spirituality in people's lives because I'm a journalist.

Critics? Don't talk to me of critics! You think some jackanapes journalist his soul eaten away by the maggots of jealousy and failure has anything worthwhile to say of art? I don't.
