It's a truism that denials never quite catch up with charges. Honest Journalists who may have mistakenly printed false information know that the most prominent retraction never quite undoes the damage done by the original publication.
Sometimes, I genuinely enjoy having conversations with Journalists; enjoying the few moments of intimacy with a stranger is fascinating to me. But once in a while that backfires and you're suddenly reading something that has a bent on it that you didn't feel was in the least bit a part of the conversation that you thought you were having. Then you get overly protective and say very little and then you come out of the hole again.
gillian andersonI do not know why Journalists insist on calling their stuff "pieces", when they are in fact little entities, attempting to have beginnings, middles and endings.
james cameronFurthermore, all the Western politicians, intellectuals and Journalists are obliged to pay homage and bow to the monument that commemorates those allegedly killed in the Nazi concentration camps. In other words, all should acknowledge the veracity of something that has not been proven! This is also one of the propaganda means being applied by the Zionists to portray themselves as the victims of persecution!
ali khameneiWhatever analogy we choose, one thing is clear - any group with influence needs people outside that group who will criticise it. In the real world of politics and society, Journalists do that - proper Journalists who know what having principles means, who aim for objectivity while accepting that it is unattainable, and who are open about who pays them and who they work with.
bill thompsonSecretive power loathes Journalists who do their job: who push back screens, peer behind façades, lift rocks. Opprobrium from on high is their badge of honour.
john pilgerJournalists as a group, unlike all other powerful groups, require some protection from themselves, and from their own excesses.
Once you have an innovation culture, even those who are not scientists or engineers - poets, actors, Journalists - they, as communities, embrace the meaning of what it is to be scientifically literate... They don't fight science and they don't fight technology.
neil degrasse tysonJournalists who make mistakes get sued for libel; historians who make mistakes get to publish a revised edition.
It is no good saying we [Journalists] must report only what is true because what is true cannot always be proven.
john humphrysHow is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to Journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print.
Karl KrausI see Journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate.
marguerite durasIncoherence is a common hazard for Journalists who dabble in ethical judgments.
andrew fergusonOne of the greatest problems for international Journalists covering the Middle East is that people who serves as guides for Journalists are often affiliated with Islamic terrorists seeking to turn for foreign visitors against Israel.
caroline glickIn Britain, Journalists often view comparisons with our society going back two, three, or seven centuries as more relevant than comparisons going back two, three, or seven decades. Drunkenness centuries ago is more illuminating than comparative sobriety 30 years ago. The distant past, selectively mined for evidence that justifies our current conduct, becomes more important than living memory.
anthony danielsI suppose, in the end, we Journalists try - or should try - to be the first impartial witnesses of history. If we have any reason for our existence, the least must be our ability to report history as it happens so that no one can say: 'we didn't know - no one told us.'
robert fiskA hacker is someone who enjoys playful cleverness not necessarily with computers. The programmers in the old MIT free software community of the 60s and 70s referred to themselves as hackers. Around 1980, Journalists who discovered the hacker community mistakenly took the term to mean “security breaker.”
richard m. stallmanMy experience is that Journalists report on the nearest-cliche algorithm, which is extremely uninformative because there aren’t many cliches, the truth is often quite distant from any cliche, and the only thing you can infer about the actual event was that this was the closest cliche.... It is simply not possible to appreciate the sheer awfulness of mainstream media reporting until someone has actually reported on you. It is so much worse than you think.
eliezer yudkowskyMaxim Gorki, supposedly citing a quote from Trotsky, told some Journalists in 1924: "From Mussolini's governmental actions I have got to know his energy and I admire him, but I prefer Trotsky's opinion: Mussolini has made a revolution, he is our best student."
...deeply concerned at the Maldives government's continued repression of protestors, including beatings, pepper-spraying, and arrests. Those attacked include peaceful demonstrators, members of parliament, Journalists and bystanders.
One question that remains is at what point an individual Net poster has the right to assume prerogatives that have traditionally been only the province of Journalists and news-gathering organizations. When the Pentagon Papers landed on the doorstep of the New York Times , the newspaper was able to publish under the First Amendment's guarantees of freedom of speech, and to make a strong argument in court that publication was in the public interest. ... the amplification inherent in the combination of the Net's high-speed communications and the size of the available population has greatly changed the balance of power.
The duty of Journalists is to tell the truth. Journalism means you go back to the actual facts, you look at the documents, you discover what the record is, and you report it that way.
I suppose, in the end, we Journalists try - or should try - to be the first impartial witnesses of history. If we have any reason for our existence, the least must be our ability to report history as it happens so that no one can say: 'We didn't know - no one told us.'
The national religion in the United States is worship of all things military. And Journalists are its high priests.
