I think that if journalists, reporters who spend a lot of time on a story, are honest with themselves, we all have feelings about our subjects – I mean, unless you’re a robot.
I am extremely sorry for the remarks made during the recent Women in Science lunch at the world conference of science journalists in Seoul, Korea.
We are all Julian Assange. Serious reporters discuss classified information every day – go to any Washington or New York dinner party where real journalists are present, and you will hear discussion of leaked or classified information. That is journalists’ job in a free society.
The bad news for journalists today is that the media, however seriously people who are in the public eye take it, is not taken as seriously as it once was – by the public.
I can remember how rude I could be at times to journalists and people phoning up for advice.
When Senator Cruz, with all due respect, tries to throw my network and CNN under the bus, let me stand up for my colleagues and journalists here.
I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate.
A common criticism of establishment journalists entails comparing them to stenographers, on the ground that most of them do little more than mindlessly write down and uncritically repeat what government officials say.
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.
Journalists can get very pompous, especially in the formalized days of ‘Meet the Press,’ when they took themselves so damned seriously.
It’s amazing to me that journalists are held in such low esteem.
Journalists know that often you don’t grab stories, they grab you.
Especially among journalists, politics is not a pursuit that’s held in high esteem. We tend to be cynical about it – but I actually believe in democracy.
I’m not shy or reclusive. I just spend my time with people rather than journalists.
If you imagine writing 1,000 words a day, which most journalists do, that would be a very long book a year. I don’t manage nearly that… but I have published slightly too much recently.
Everyone is free to express their opinions, but I think that journalists should do it with more responsibility. They lack accuracy.
Open source is a beautiful way of collaborating; but what’s happening on the free Internet is more akin to the ‘crowdsourcing’ of journalists and other content creators by advertisers who no longer have to pay them – only the search engines that parse their articles.
There’s a kind of journalistic narcissism that New York-based journalists are guilty of.
Strange bonds of trust and self-deception tend to grow between journalists and their subjects.
When journalists forget that our job is to question and annoy those in power, there can be huge consequences.
Month after month, Wizard Academy equips people who want to make a difference. This is why journalists and scientists and artists and educators and business owners and advertising professionals and ministers are attracted to our little school.
We are ready to be criticised by any journalists because we know we are not perfect.
James O’Keefe is a journalist, doing the work ‘real’ journalists don’t dare, and has been conducting undercover investigations for years with dozens of scalps collected along the way. The more the ‘true’ journalists who back the Democrat machine attack him, the more emboldened he becomes to pursue his next project.
Most journalists now believe that a person’s privacy zone gets smaller and smaller as the person becomes more and more powerful.
People back down because the libel system is so utterly hostile to journalists, bloggers, scientists. The smart thing is not to fight.
Those who peacefully gather to express sympathy for the family of Michael Brown must have their rights respected at all times. And journalists must not be harassed or prevented from covering a story that needs to be told.
It’s in the DNA of Scientology that they don’t trust journalists.
My comments are reserved for reputable journalists.
Every media appearance is a learning experience about the media outlet and their journalists and their feelings about you, so treat it as such.
I also think there’s too many players who say the same boring answers, they don’t even have to turn up to interviews because journalists answer their own questions the way they ask them. Unfortunately the way it is now players are so afraid to say anything, but I’d like them to be honest.
There are far too many journalists who are in a rush to be first, instead of being right.
Musicians and journalists are the canaries in the coalmine, but, eventually, as computers get more and more powerful, it will kill off all middle-class professions.
Journalists like to say I started off sweeping the pottery floors. But it was just a short-lived part time job doing that after I left school.
The things journalists should pay attention to are the issues the political leadership agrees on, rather than to their supposed antagonisms.
Most journalists expect me to answer all their questions about aliens and spaceships.
It’s a very strange phenomenon being hated by people you’ve never met. Some journalists just seem to hate me and everything I do, and it’s disconcerting because I’ve never met this person.
If people stop being interested, it’s because you haven’t written a good enough album. Music will always be the most powerful thing. It doesn’t matter what record labels or journalists say. It’s the song.
There’s a number of journalists and politicians who are interested in the rise of the National Front and the huge nationalist gathering, the movements that refuse the E.U. and want to go back to a Europe of nations, free and sovereign countries. I’m here to re-educate.
I hate journalists. I don’t trust them.
I never met Lou Reed, never was one of those journalists lucky enough to be the object of his derision, contempt, condescension, indifference, and occasional piercing honesty.
Before social media actually came into play, there were only journalists, who would represent you. If I went to a party, I was written about negatively or sometimes in a positive way as well but it never was the actual thing.
Some of the journalists who’ve ended up writing about our band – and this is disappointing to say – have a very narrow outlook. And because of that they fundamentally misunderstand us.
I don’t do stand-up anymore. There are no rules in stand-up comedy. Journalists follow plenty of rules.
Journalists should have been the first to tell people what Obamacare would mean to them. They are now the last to figure all of this out.
This isn’t a dig on journalists, but people like to write about the ‘death of blank.’ The death of something.
Because journalists of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty – the former broadcast into Eastern Europe, the latter into the Soviet Union – accurately depicted daily life in communist Europe, in the local languages, using native journalists, millions of people tuned in to them.
I shall always be proud of what I’ve done, regardless of what you journalists or anybody can say.
Like other Americans, U.S. journalists have often neglected the study of history; they have much remedial work to do in trying to understand who did what to whom, why and when – and who did it first.
It wasn’t until 1973 that Congress and journalists began to investigate ‘Operation Menu,’ around the same moment that the Watergate scandal was unfolding.
Even when I went to the Lion’s Head in the Village, where all you journalists would hang out, I was always peripheral. I was never really part of anything except the classroom. That’s where I belonged.
Looking back, Mr. Trump’s exploitation of the term ‘fake news’ to smear journalists was the single most consequential thing he did during the transition period. He built the scaffolding for his supporters to reject any and all information that wasn’t Trump-approved.
My parents were journalists and friends with writers, artists, and just a really interesting assortment of people, so I was exposed to all lifestyles from a young age.
If there is one way that I would sum up what the 2016 election was on cable news, it was world-class journalists interviewing morons.
About 3 million IVF babies have been born since Louise Brown’s birth in 1978. Bizarrely, when this life-giving treatment was first considered, it was massively controversial. A storm of vitriolic protest came from many religious leaders, journalists, politicians, regrettably even other scientists and doctors.
I like journalists.
Normally skeptical journalists routinely give renewables a pass. The reason isn’t because they don’t know how to report critically on energy – they do regularly when it comes to non-renewable energy sources – but rather because they don’t want to.
We expect our media to lead and open doors for our young talents. As we need creative engineers, doctors and managers, we also need creative journalists and media workers.
I think that Congress and its affiliates and journalists who support them have made trolling quite a sophisticated measure of intervention.
