Lazy journalists, they’ll read stuff and get a quote then ask the same question again hoping I’ll say a similar thing; it’s very tiresome.
What happens in the media is the cult of personality. The brands who have been forced to cut their staff have been forced to take on the brands of journalists.
Careful authors and journalists cultivate relationships with a wide variety of sources so as to avoid bad information or being led down an inaccurate path. Gossip columnists don’t particularly care if the path is inaccurate, so long as it gets attention and results in more fuel for the fire.
There’s many heroic underappreciated investigative journalists.
We’ve lost a lot of regard for straight forward news stories, and that has then been supplemented by comment, not even analysis, which has created a lot of celebrity journalists.

I’ve had journalists beg me to please say something negative about my estate.
There are journalists who are drawn to the most extroverted, aggressive jobs because they get an ego high from it. It can be shocking to encounter them and even worse to work with them.

Sweden is a small country, and a Swedish writer can barely make a living as an author. We were able to quit our jobs as journalists only after we had been translated into, among others, German.

If Britain is going to investigate journalists as terrorists – take and destroy our documents, force us to give up passwords and answer questions – how can we be sure we can protect our sources?
People still assume the White House Correspondents’ Association works for the White House, when in reality, it’s a group of journalists who cover the White House. It’s a branding thing, but because it has the ‘White House’ before it, people think they’re just King Joffrey’s goons.
Trade shows such as the wire tappers’ ball are highly secretive and ban journalists from attending. None of the U.S. agencies that attended the wire tappers’ ball – including the FBI, the Secret Service, and every branch of the military – were willing to comment when a reporter queried them about their attendance.
Here in the United States, our profession is much maligned, people simply don’t trust or like journalists anymore and that’s sad.
Clearly independent journalists – domestic journalists – run a high risk if they dare to take on serious investigative work.
Not all journalists are really journalists. They ask such stupid questions sometimes, especially the newer ones, and because… these people can’t tell if you’re joking around, you just can’t have any sense of humour; you really can’t.
Latino patriots have served and fought in every war. They are artists, dancers, singers, poets and journalists, teachers and scientists. More and more Latinos are becoming entrepreneurs and businesspeople, contributing to the wealth and economic well-being of the nation.
When we left Mumbai to play in the World Cup there were hardly any journalists to see us off. But when we returned to India on July 25 having made the final, there were close to a hundred journalists at 2.30 in the morning. It was totally new.
In so many countries, Western journalists are viewed simply as dollar signs. We’re ransom objects.
I interact with journalists all the time, and I note how they behave.

I’m totally not media shy and do interviews all the time and go to events and totally play along and actually enjoy talking to journalists most of the time.
Simply stated, sometimes journalists can only get their information from informants who must remain anonymous in order to protect their careers and sometimes even their lives: Watergate: Confidential sources. The Pentagon Papers: Confidential sources. Enron: Confidential sources.
After working at the ‘Guardian’ for two decades, I feel I know instinctively why it exists. Most of our journalists and our readers do, too – it’s something to do with holding power to account and upholding liberal values.
I have been hit from all sides, and I’m only human. They have ended up talking about the way I look, and it hurts. I have a family, and they suffer, too. It has gone over the limit, and I am tired of it. I have a wife and child, too, and I am not prepared to go on putting up with it English journalists.
Our intent is to operate Time Warner as it operates today, with autonomy in its divisions, including the world-class creative talent and journalists that make Time Warner a leader in entertainment and news.

Journalists are quite surprised outside their dinner parties when they hear where I live. ‘Van Nuys? You still live there?’ It is like saying you’re from Alabama.
Novel writing should never be confused with journalism. Unfortunately, in the case of Primary Colors, a fair number of journalists confused.
I don’t appreciate, really, talking to journalists when there’s a sense of wanting to kick up dust to sell more papers or get more hits on their Internet site.
If you don’t think there is any value in the work I, or any other serious journalists do, then don’t spend your money on it. At least you have the choice.
There are still journalists who risk their lives in situations of conflict, versus those who sit behind a desk at ‘News of the World’ to report on whether someone is going out with somebody or not.
I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.
Journalists often ask me when I go to the field, ‘What do you expect to find?’ And my answer always is, ‘The unexpected,’ because we’re just looking at the tip of the iceberg; we’ve just scratched the surface.
When you’re in the public eye, it allows people to see you inhumanely. There’s this idea that you have to take the abuse. And when younger journalists, especially young female journalists, ask me how I handle social media, I hate myself when I have to tell them to condition themselves and develop a thick skin.
If you actually believe in free speech and not simply the free distribution of other people’s intellectual property, you should let journalists, law firms, and investors exercise their rights to it alongside your own.
There are so many journalists out there, I hate to say it, who are lazy and don’t do their research – and it shows.
There are many great outlets that we love and respect, but ‘The North Star’ really is going to be a hard news outlet with reporters and journalists, White House correspondents. I think we’ll be hard news with some cultural commentary.
