Journalism - a profession whose business is to explain to others what it personally does not understand.
Lord Northcliffe
We journalists make it a point to know very little about an extremely wide variety of topics; this is how we stay objective.
Dave Barry
The secret of successful journalism is to make your readers so angry they will write half your paper for you.
C.E.M. Joad
Generally speaking, the best people nowadays go into journalism, the second best into business, the rubbish into politics and the shits into law
Auberon Waugh
Journalism allows its readers to witness history; fiction gives its readers an opportunity to live it.
John Hersey
A news sense is really a sense of what is important, what is vital, what has color and life - what people are interested in. That's journalism.
Burton Rascoe
Journalism largely consists in saying "Lord Jones is dead" to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive.
G.K. Chesterton
Journalists cover words and delude themselves into thinking they have committed journalism.
Hedrick Smith
We journalists... are also extremely impressed with scientists, and we will, frankly, print just about any wacky thing they tell us, especially if it involves outer space.
Dave Barry
The news is staged, anticipated, reported, analyzed until all interest is wrung from it and abandoned for some new novelty.
