Urnal Quotes

Journalism is a kind of profession, or craft, or racket, for people who never wanted to grow up and go out into the real world Picture Quote #1

I obviously prefer writing novels but I take my journalism very seriously, and I enjoy doing it between novels. It gives me an opportunity to move in the outside world Picture Quote #1

Journalism students need to understand it and need a solid background in the liberal arts, in sociology, economics, literature and language, because they won’t get it later on Picture Quote #1

If you’re curious, you’ll probably be a good journalist because we follow our curiosity like cats Picture Quote #1

And after about two years, I realized that creative writing was not going to help you ace those biological tests. So I switched over to journalism. I didn’t graduate with honors, but I did graduate on time and with some doing Picture Quote #1

The problem was the journalists who also did not understand much of my music, but they wrote about it. I think you fell into the usual trap laid out by parts of the press and other writers: that the poor musician has always to fight the evil companies and managers Picture Quote #1

I would be lying if I said the journalism doesn’t reflect my own choices as a reporter and a writer: what to say, what to emphasize, how to say it, what is true or untrue Picture Quote #1

The why is what makes journalism an adult game. The why is what makes policy coherent and useful. The why is what transforms bureaucrats and foot soldiers and political leaders into viable instruments of rational and affirmative change. The why is everything and without it, the very suggestion of human progress becomes a cosmic joke Picture Quote #1

As I went to college, I went into radio and television. Now I suppose most people think that’s one step ahead of basket weaving as a major in college, but it was part of the journalism department Picture Quote #1

I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate Picture Quote #1

Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It’s absolutely unavoidable. A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Hype is the awkward and desperate attempt to convince journalists that what you’ve made is worth the misery of having to review it Picture Quote #1

It’s a journalist’s job to be a witness to history. We’re not there to worry about ourselves. We’re there to try and get as near as we can, in an imperfect world, to the truth and get the truth out Picture Quote #1

U.S. journalists I don’t think are very courageous. They tend to go along with the government’s policy domestically and internationally. To question is seen as being unpatriotic, or potentially subversive Picture Quote #1

I’d like to get back into journalism. I’m hoping someone will offer me a job as a commentator or one of those political analysts that you see on the news shows all the time Picture Quote #1

Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air Picture Quote #1

Often there is a wall between the journalist and the star because there is usually not much time to get to know a person, and the star is always asked the same questions, and may be defensive Picture Quote #1

The first essence of journalism is to know what you want to know, the second, is to find out who will tell you Picture Quote #1

Journalism allows its readers to witness history; fiction gives its readers an opportunity to live it Picture Quote #1

Some in journalism consider themselves apart from and to some extent above the people they purport to serve Picture Quote #1

Journalists are accused of being lapdogs when they don’t ask the hard questions, but then accused of being rude when they do. Good thing we have tough hides Picture Quote #1

There were influences in my life that were more important than journalism, such as comic strips and radio Picture Quote #1

One of the great pressures we’re facing in journalism now is it’s a lot cheaper to hire thumb suckers and pundits and have talk shows on the air than actually have bureaus and reporters Picture Quote #1

You’re under pressure when you produce facts. You’re working with facts in journalism, but you’re under all kinds of formal constraints; there are expectations Picture Quote #1

When I was a freelancer, I thought this journalism thing was a racket, and now that I’m where I am now, I know it’s a racket Picture Quote #1

Hunter and I never got proper journalistic accreditation to go anywhere. Nobody was giving us passes to go in here or there. We always had to somehow talk our way in Picture Quote #1

The journalistic vision sharpens to the point of maximum impact every event, every individual and social configuration; but the honing is uniform Picture Quote #1
