Contradictory to my religion, I think, is journalism.

The Voice has always been an alternative paper. They have always understood that that was part of their role.

My own reaction from a distance is that Pol Pot's demise as the leader of the Khmer Rouge was inevitable, and that his own paranoia did him in as much as anything else.

I don't judge myself by what someone says.

Contradictory to my religion, I think, is journalism.

Pol Pot carried out through the years enormous purges against his own followers because of his paranoia.

What happened was very sad. Mr. Lacey told the staff that he was disappointed and appalled that the front of the book was all commentary and that he wanted hard news.

I asked him, How could we have a press column if we can't write about other work done in the press?

You can criticize any news staff in some ways, but the one thing that you couldn't call the Village Voice staff was a staff of stenographers, taking notes from public figures and just passing them on.

People in New York pay attention to national issues - a huge percentage of people.

I don't know how you can do it, if you don't recognition the media as a power center in America.

Lacey had this huge chip on his shoulder. He walked into the room thinking that the people didn't welcome him and didn't like him. He gave the impression that he didn't understand the Voice and New York, and he didn't want to.

As I understand it, Lacey has dismissed all of the fact checkers.

Lacey said if he wanted to read a daily or regular critiques of the Bush administration, he would read the New York Times, and that's not what he wanted in the Village Voice.

The mainstream press and television do a very soft job of covering the press, either as corporate entities or as news organizations.

It's very easy to say that something is a shadow of itself, and it may be true in some senses.

Lacey didn't like it, even though he was born here, I understand. I mean, he was born in Brooklyn. He told the staff that they better prepare themselves to say goodbye to some of their friends.

This isn't a little debate society. That's high school stuff.

If you believe in journalism, you don't insult good journalists.

I just don't believe that you have to come in and insult people when you want to change things.

I don't see any move toward international pressure to stabilize the situation.

My favorite thing is still journalism. I'm almost 50. This has been my life ever since I was in college.

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.

The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.

I don't think Fox News or Rush Limbaugh need Clinton it turns out. I think there's a hunger out there for - whether it's on the left or right - a more lively and provocative type of political journalism. I think Salon and Fox on the other side have both benefited from that.

Surely the glory of journalism is its transience.

If anyone was talking about journalism in the '50s - it was Edward R.Murrow.

In general, science journalism concerns itself with what has been published in a handful of peer-reviewed journals - Nature, Cell, The New England Journal of Medicine - which set the agenda.

The Defense Department's plan to ban newspaper reporters from pool coverage of military operations is incredible. It reveals the administration to be out of touch with journalism, reality and the First Amendment.

Screenplays I didn't really care about, journalism, travel books, getting my writer friends to write about their dreams or something. I just determined to write the books I had to write.

I fooled some of the most brilliant people in journalism.

Journalism as theater is what TV news is.

Environmental concern is now firmly embedded in public life: in education, medicine and law; in journalism, literature and art.

The biggest problem in rock journalism is that often the writer's main motivation is to become friends with the band. They're not really journalists; they're people who want to be involved in rock and roll.

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.

Stanford had no journalism program so I just learned by doing, effectively.

I am deeply interested in the progress and elevation of journalism, having spent my life in that profession, regarding it as a noble profession and one of unequaled importance for its influence upon the minds and morals of the people.

Good journalism, I think, represents life and if you try to organize something too neatly it usually blows up in your face and doesn't really happen the way you want it to.

Journalism is in fact history on the run.

Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.

Journalism allows its readers to witness history; fiction gives its readers an opportunity to live it.

Contradictory to my religion, I think, is journalism.

There's no worse crime in journalism these days than simply deciding something's a story because Drudge links to it.

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.

I recognize that I had a good deal of good luck in my life. I came along at a time when it was pretty easy to get a job in journalism. I went to work at CBS News when I was about 22, and within a year or so was reporting on the air.

Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another.

All of journalism is a shrinking art. So much of it is hype. The O.J. Simpson story is a landmark in the decline of journalism.

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

Needless, heedless, wanton and deliberate injury of the sort inflicted by Life's picture story is not an essential instrument of responsible journalism.
