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

Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism what will be grasped at once

I think for decades she's been an inspiration to the women who have entered journalism, but I also think she's been a good role model for decades of investigative reporters regardless of gender. She not only became this pioneer among women journalists, but she also carved out and established this niche of journalism called investigative reporting.

It hasn't got a proper foothold here yet -- citizen journalism hasn't carved out a niche for itself like in the United States.

Most rock journalism is people who can not write interviewing people who can not talk

We never missed a day of publication and that's a testament to everybody in this room. We will arise from this terrible situation. I think our best journalism is still ahead of us.

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.

Yes, the disruption of the Internet can be blamed for the destruction of the business model that once made journalism a thriving, well-paying enterprise, but it has also created an array of new tools for reporting. Somebody will eventually figure out how to make online newspapers profitable - I hope.

The only responsible course is to tighten our operations, ... but with maximum sensitivity to assuring the quality of our journalism and the long-term health of our franchises so that we are better positioned to meet the future, whatever the economic environment.

We're not thinking of it in terms of a show; we're thinking of it as a project that will include several different aspects. The idea is to take the style and format and attention to substance that public radio journalism brings to coverage of daily news events and apply it specifically to Texas music, and do it in a more consistent, focused way than it's been done before.

We are on scholarship to play basketball. We're not on scholarship to go to journalism school and write papers. We're here to play basketball. It's like a job. You have a choice. You can either quit or keep playing and I hope everybody keeps playing.

We plan to maintain, sustain and further the journalism at these newspapers.

Traditional journalism provides the view from the outside looking in, and citizen journalism provides the view from the inside looking out. In order to tell the complete story, you need both points of view.

Traditional journalism is the outside looking in. Citizen journalism is the inside looking out. In order to get the complete story, it helps to have both point of views.

We'd love to expose him to as many viewers as possible. He's really kind of in the mold of what television journalism ought to be about today.

I think the worst thing we can do is to concede to fanaticism its devotion, say. Well, you have to understand, these people are really fanatics, so we should back down from them. I think if journalists start doing that then they won't be practicing journalism. If satirists start doing that then they won't be practicing satire.

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

We are excited to welcome Tom to our team. Tom has spent the past six years with two of the leading professional organizations involved in journalism training and research - the Committee of Concerned Journalists (CCJ) and the Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ). NLGJA is looking forward to his leadership in helping the industry recognize that fair and accurate coverage of LGBT issues is at the core of good journalism.

But so far, in the accounts given by reporters about their conversations with administration officials, no such crime has been described. What has been depicted is an administration effort to refute the allegations of a critic (some of which did in fact prove to be untrue) and to undermine his credibility, including by suggesting that nepotism rather than qualifications led to his selection. If such conversations are deemed a crime, journalism and the public will be the losers.

There is nothing to compel a tenured professor of journalism to engage with the Internet other than as a user.

There is no journalism class, and there is no journalism club at Pine Crest.

This unprecedented gift is a milestone for NLGJA as the largest single gift from a media company to the organization.

I've taught a college journalism course at two universities where my students taught me more than I did them about how political news is consumed.

The tree that stood tall for over 60 years and a tree that planted a forest, a tree with widespread limbs and full of fruit. He connected to Africa and African Americans.

His impact had been felt through the whole world of journalism.

This award is very special because it recognizes what I think of as members of the infantry -- reporters who do the heavy lifting, even though they don't personally have the high public profile that some journalists in print and broadcast media attain.

America is strong because its journalism is strong. That's how democracies work. They're only as good as the quality of the information that the public possesses. And that is where we come in.

There is no truth whatever in these allegations. Ashley Cole will not tolerate this kind of cowardly journalism or let it go unchallenged. It is disgraceful that he should be faced with this kind of unpleasant insinuation and innuendo.

There needs to be more involvement between mainstream media and the digital world. If you don't learn from an editor or a newsroom, where do those values of journalism come from?

This is the sickest piece of journalism I have ever seen!

At Grozny TV, the line between journalism and government propaganda is traversed as often as a Manhattan crosswalk.

As we begin national Ethics in Journalism Week, it's regrettable that far too many television stations continue to forget that their primary obligations are to the public and to truth. They aren't doing what they are ethically and professionally obligated to do - check out their sources, confirm the veracity of the report, and disclose where the information came from.

Then, when she embroils you in a legal tangle over the matter, instead of monitoring the situation as closely as possible, you put the discretion nearly entirely in her hands. You do not know what's in her notes. And when you believe you are backing her because she is defending a principle, she then brings in a second attorney. To people outside journalism all this looks just weird,

I started in journalism in 1950. I was 18, and the newspaper people came to ask me to work. I learned journalism through practice.

They'll leave anything incompatible with their view on the cutting-room floor. 60 Minutes is to journalism what Charley's Aunt is to criminology.

There's that old journalism rule that sunshine is the great disinfectant - which is how reporters bust their way into meetings and such all the time. In sports, I really think winning is the great disinfectant.

I'm absolutely committed to 'Nightline' remaining a serious, substantive show. 'Nightline' has a unique place in American television journalism and it's important that should continue. Of course, we wish it to be an entertaining show, but the journalism comes first always.

His departure from the Associated Press is a real loss to the state and to journalism as a whole. The governor is saddened by the news.

His magazines are a perfect example of when marketing and journalism merge into one entity. I know a lot of people in the media hate his guts, but it's a matter of jealousy. I think he's doing a marvelous job.

Before Truman, journalism and non-fiction weren't taken very seriously. Journalism was seen as a hack profession that had very little style, very little grace. After In Cold Blood , people saw real-life stories in a different way.
