I started working as a journalist under Bush, then Clinton, then Bush, then Obama.
Any journalist worth his or her salt wouldn’t trust me.
My husband is a journalist as well, and while we love beaches, we can’t sit for that long. If we go to a beach destination, there needs to be something else we can do there as well. I need to be around interesting and different people and cultures.
I’m a Christian, a wife, a mother, a homeschooler, a conservative, a citizen journalist, a talk radio host, an insatiable music nerd who plays a poor rhythm guitar, a blogger, a proud granddaughter of a sailor, and a proud tea partier in awe of the potential and the people in this movement.
Few Westerners know Iran as well as Robin Wright: her first trip there as a journalist was in 1973, and she has covered every important milestone since, from the Islamic revolution and the hostage crisis to the more recent staring contest with the West over Tehran’s nuclear program.
At school, a careers adviser asked me what I wanted to be, and I said ‘fashion journalist,’ so writing for ‘Vogue’ has provided me with the opportunity to fulfill a dream.
I’ve been meaning to write about the Rolling Stones, but I am the furthest thing from a hipster rock journalist.
I’m a journalist, so my friends are journalists: magazines, newspapers, even public radio. Nobody had their kids in public school.

I’m in the business, as a journalist, of asking tough questions.
I studied political science and international relations and had the intention of becoming a journalist or work in foreign affairs. I had no intention of making a film.

There’s never any time I think I’m a real journalist, because I don’t have any of the qualifications or the intentions for that.
I think I’ve proven that I’m issue-oriented and I’m not apolitical. But I’m not a journalist and I don’t want to be one with that veneer exterior.
Since the advent of the Internet – more recently compounded by blogging – everyone can be a published voice. Any cowardly, anonymous anger-monger can have an audience of thousands. That doesn’t make them a journalist any more than my throwing an onion and a few carrots into a pot of boiling water makes me Julia Child.
I graduated high school, and I always wanted to go to college, but I also really wanted to work at a young age. At 18, I was pitching talk show ideas to different networks. I was a journalist.
My own special relationship with America began at an early age. My father, a fellow journalist, named me after Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
It is impossible not to hear some of the criticism. However, no newspaper, nor journalist, is going to tell me who I am. I know who I am.
If I wasn’t a writer/director, I would be an investigative journalist. There’s something about being an undercover journalist. I mean, that’s freakin’ cool!
Mum left school at 15, and after a few years of modelling and dating jazz musicians, was married by 21 to my father, Mike Taylor, a journalist on the ‘Daily Mirror.’ They had my brother and me pretty quickly and had split up by the time I was two. I don’t really have any memories of them as a couple.
I always wanted to be a serious journalist.
There is a type of snobbish, pompous journalist who thinks that the only news that has any validity is war, famine, pestilence or politics. I don’t come from that school.
I’d probably still be a financial journalist now if it weren’t for writing novels. Mmm. Fun! I’m much happier writing novels!
I don’t think, as a journalist, I’d ever get a story written. I’d probably spend five years researching it, and by the time I’d finish it, no one would be interested in it anymore.
As communicators and marketers, people are so accustomed to thinking from the ‘top down.’ Finding the great analyst or the famous journalist who will endorse what you do and tell the rest of the world to go and buy your product.
In my very early days as a journalist, as a cub reporter on a local newspaper, I used to cover the district courthouse in Limerick city – all human life passed through that establishment, and my time there remains a source of inspiration.
I knew I wanted to be a journalist ever since I was a teenager. While it is interesting and gratifying to be on the business side and to see how that all works, the main reason I kept a business role here was to protect the editorial integrity of Salon.
I’m a journalist – I’m not Robert Caro. I have a day job, and a pretty consuming one – a joyfully consuming one.
As a journalist – or as a writer – my obligation is to come as close to the truth as I possibly can. And that’s not as close to someone else’s truth, but the truth as I see it.
For a journalist who covers the Muslim world, we have responsibilities to be familiar with that culture and to know how to respond to that.
The point is that a filmmaker is like a journalist in projecting reality in the true sense of the word. Only thing is he dramatically packages it to make more effect.
I’m a terrible interviewer. I’m not a journalist – although I have a Peabody Award – and I’m not really a late-night host. What I am is honest.
I had a lot of jobs before I got into music. When I was 15, I was a copy boy for the ‘Evening Chronicle’ in Newcastle. Then I was a journalist. I value those experiences – I got to see how the world works.
Burton Cummings joining the Guess Who in January 1966 changed my life forever. It’s been a rocky affiliation, no doubt. One journalist once described our relationship as the longest running soap opera in Canadian history. That may be a bit oversimplified.
I stopped being an engaged journalist and became a disengaged novelist.
I’ve done interviews in the past where, apparently, I didn’t give the journalist any eye contact. I’m a bit shy, yes. I’ve thought about refusing to do any press at all.
Sixteen years as a freelance features journalist taught me that neither the absence of ‘the Muse’ nor the presence of ‘the block’ should be allowed to hinder the orderly progress of a book.
Remember, folks, I am a comedian, not a journalist.
I fell in love with the idea of writing songs when I was a child. I thought I was going to be a journalist at first, but I gradually fell in love with all these great writers like Irving Berlin and Cole Porter, who were at the peak of their powers then.
When it comes to racism, discrimination, corruption, public lies, dictatorships, and human rights, you have to take a stand as a reporter because I think our responsibility as journalist is to confront those who are abusing power.

While I am not a journalist, I have, myself, written more than one thing that has been plagiarized in the past.
As for being an objective journalist? That’s easy. I want what everyone else wants: the truth.
I was happy being a journalist. I didn’t realize losing my job, my identity went with it.
For a journalist working in Gaza or the Occupied Territories, a PRESS badge offers limited protection at best. For a Palestinian journalist, it clearly offers none at all.
In my career, I have played a gangster, an ex cop, a journalist and a film director. Yet, the label of a serial kisser refuses to leave me.
I kept thinking, I’m not going to do political journalism, because there’s no way to keep my principles and be a political journalist, so I’ll edit a popular science magazine. This will be my salvation, and I’ll emerge with my integrity intact. That didn’t even happen.
As an entertainment journalist for over a decade, I travel to great places for work, from red carpets in Rio, movie premieres in London to celebrity sit-downs in Bora Bora.

If my name had not been cleared, it would have been difficult, perhaps impossible, to continue as a journalist.
I could not have written a novel if I hadn’t been a journalist first, because it taught me that there’s no muse that’s going to come down and bestow upon you the mood to write. You just have to do it. I’m definitely not precious.
A journalist who doesn’t bring a camera is like a warrior who doesn’t carry a sword.
Part of success is having a good story, and as a journalist, I totally understand. But it meant that my many, many years of focus and hard work got kind of prepackaged into a Cinderella story. I’m super grateful that it happened, but it left me feeling like I never got to be a full human in the experience.
I don’t think I ever wanted to be a journalist – I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.
I like roundtables because you can talk more directly to people. And you also can get kind of a vibe on what a journalist’s take is on something, and have a conversation with them more.
You have two options when you approach a hostile checkpoint in a war zone, and each is a gamble. The first is to stop and identify yourself as a journalist and hope that you are respected as a neutral observer. The second is to blow past the checkpoint and hope the soldiers guarding it don’t open fire on you.
