Top Old Journalism Quotes

Old Journalism Quotes By Amitav Ghosh

I'd been surprised by the depth of emotion that was invested in that curiously archaic phrase 'great power'. What would it mean, I'd asked myself, to the lives of working journalists, salaried technocrats and so on if India achieved 'great power status'? What were the images evoked by this tag?
Now, walking through this echoing old palace, looking at the pictures in the corridors, this aspiration took on, for the first time, the contours of an imagined reality. This is what the nuclearists wanted: to sign treaties, to be pictured with the world's powerful, to hang portraits on their walls, to become ancestors. On the bomb they had pinned their hopes of bringing it all back. — Amitav Ghosh

Old Journalism Quotes By Andrew Ross Sorkin

I started, actually, in journalism when I was - well. I started at the 'New York Times' when I was 18 years old, actually, but really got into journalism when I was 15 years old and had started a sports magazine which was trying to become a national sports magazine. — Andrew Ross Sorkin

Old Journalism Quotes By Silvio Scaglia

Old Journalism Quotes By A.E. Samaan

Computer hackers are the true journalists in the 21st Century. The old journalism is worse than dead. It is unreliable to the point that it is nothing more than a nuisance, an obstacle in the pursuit of truth. — A.E. Samaan

Old Journalism Quotes By Maureen Johnson

It rang and it rand and it rang. I looked at the screen one last time, then at Stuart, and then I reached my arm back and threw the phone as hard as I could (sadly, not that far), and it vanished into the snow. The eight-year-olds, who were truly fascinated with our every move at this point, chased after it.
'Lost it,' I said. 'Whoops. — Maureen Johnson

Old Journalism Quotes By J. Cole

It's not necessarily a church theme and it's not really about church. I like my album themes to be metaphors because it gives me the freedom to speak about something else that's going on in my life, so the Born Sinner thing is not about church, it's not even about religion. It's using that as canvas to get other messages across and that's what the album will be. — J. Cole

Old Journalism Quotes By J.R. Moehringer

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. — J.R. Moehringer

Old Journalism Quotes By Helen Thomas

American journalism's crazy old aunt in the attic. — Helen Thomas

Old Journalism Quotes By Arianna Huffington

Old Journalism Quotes By Jonathan Galassi

There's an old saw about journalism that the more you know about a subject, the less sense reporting about it makes. — Jonathan Galassi

Old Journalism Quotes By Dan Jenkins

My aunt got me interested in journalism - she found an old typewriter, had it worked over, put it on the dining room table, gave me a stack of paper and said, 'Play like you're a writer.' — Dan Jenkins

Old Journalism Quotes By David Cronenberg

Nathan seemed to have absorbed his sense of journalistic ethics from old movies about newspaper reporters. For Naomi, internet sampling ad scratching was a completely valid form of journalism, presenting no ethical clouds on its open-source horizon. — David Cronenberg

Old Journalism Quotes By Gina Barreca

Every patient tends to bury the most important story inside some other story, just the way new writers often 'bury the lede.' 'Burying the lede' is an old journalism term for when you only find out the real point about halfway into the article, but it also applies to therapy. — Gina Barreca

Old Journalism Quotes By Andrew O'Hagan

As an old creative industry full of cruelty and moral sense, British journalism once flourished on the imperative that people required the truth in order to survive. But people don't require that now. They want sensation and they want it for nothing. — Andrew O'Hagan

Old Journalism Quotes By Hugh Hefner

I have very strong theories about magazine publishing. And I think that it is the most personal form of journalism. And I think that a magazine is an old friend. — Hugh Hefner

Old Journalism Quotes By Monica Bellucci

Men have the power in everything: journalism, acting, direction; in banks, finances, schools. All the laws are made by men. Men think that women, when they're not able to procreate any more, become old. That is not true - they are still amazing! — Monica Bellucci

Old Journalism Quotes By Cynthia Kadohata

In 1982, when I was almost 26 years old, I decided I wanted to write fiction. I'd majored in journalism in college, and I'd always assumed I would write nonfiction. — Cynthia Kadohata

Old Journalism Quotes By Nick Denton

We believe that the best Web content optimization strategy is something as old as journalism itself: the shocking truth and the authentic opinion. — Nick Denton

Old Journalism Quotes By David W. Hall

It is the custom in passing romance and journalism to talk of men suffering under old tyrannies. But, as a fact, men have almost always suffered under new tyrannies; under tyrannies that had been public liberties hardly twenty years before. — David W. Hall

Old Journalism Quotes By Oswald Mosley

We have lost the good old British spirit. Instead we have American journalism and black-shirted buffoons making a cheap imitation of ice-cream sellers. — Oswald Mosley

Old Journalism Quotes By Santideva

We are the authors of our own destiny; and being the authors, we are ultimately, perhaps frighteningly, free. — Santideva

Old Journalism Quotes By Luvvie Ajayi

We have more ways to get our news than ever, which is supposed to be a good thing, because more competition is supposed to challenge you to do better. However, in this social media age, what is has done is allowed the information business to be a free- rein free-for-all. Old rules of journalistic integrity have been thrown out the window. Everyone has been given the conch, and no one knows what to do with it. Instead of using the new-media landscape to spur us to higher quality, we have instead become sloppier than ever: Tweet first, research later. Post first, rescind later. Guess first, confirm later. — Luvvie Ajayi

Old Journalism Quotes By H.G.Wells

Man had been content to live in ease and delight upon the labours of his fellow-man, had taken Necessity as his watchword and excuse, and in the fullness of time Necessity had come home to him. — H.G.Wells

Old Journalism Quotes By Edith Templeton

You are like a child who whistles in the dark. As though the dark cared, my poor child, as though the dark cared. — Edith Templeton

Old Journalism Quotes By Jack Benny

I'm an old newspaper-man myself, but I quit because I found there was no money in old newspapers. — Jack Benny

Old Journalism Quotes By Jason Alexander

Where are reliable journalism and reliable investigative voices going to come from? I love the days of old - the Walter Cronkites, the Dan Rathers. — Jason Alexander

Old Journalism Quotes By Heather Brooke

I pine for a return to the type of old-school journalism and the tough newspapermen and women of the Thirties. — Heather Brooke

Old Journalism Quotes By James Joyce

The apprehensive faculty must be scrutinised in action. — James Joyce

Old Journalism Quotes By Barbara Brown Taylor

Contrary to popular opinion, Christians are not nice polite people who never get angry with one another. Those are not the virtues of God's people. Our virtues are truth-telling, kindness, forgiveness and yes, even anger-as long as it is the anger that is part of true love-through which we move closer to one another and to the God who has shown us how it is done. — Barbara Brown Taylor

Old Journalism Quotes By Miller Williams

Too many poets write poems which are only difficult on the surface, difficult because the dramatic situation is easily misunderstood. It's not difficult to write poems that are misunderstood. A drunk, a three-year-old-they are easily misunderstood. What is difficult is being clear and mysterious at the same time. The dramatic situation needs to be as clear in a poem as it is in a piece of good journalism. The why is part of the mystery, but the who, what, where, and when should all be understood. — Miller Williams

Old Journalism Quotes By Kay Mills

Time dims memory. But not that kind. Somewhere in a corner of the brain, one little cell never forgets. It keeps the song that, heard again, recreates the room, the person, the moment. It preserves the phrase or the laugh or the gesture that resurrects a friend long gone. It knows precisely where you were and what you were doing when you heard about Pearl Harbor if you're old enough, or Kennedy's assassination, or Martin Luther King's, or the Challenger explosion. Every detail is frozen in memory, despite all the years. It keeps the innocuous question, too. The question that sometime later, when all the synapses are working, produces the epiphany, the moment when you're driving along and you realize that finally you understand. And why did it take you so long? — Kay Mills

Old Journalism Quotes By James Fallows

In a time of transition for journalism all around the world, it's reassuring to know that some of the old ways endure. — James Fallows

Old Journalism Quotes By Elizabeth Bibesco

You don't have to signal a social conscience by looking like a frump. Lace knickers won't hasten the holocaust, you can ban the bomb in a feather boa just as well as without, and a mild interest in the length of hemlines doesn't necessarily disqualify you from reading Das Kapital and agreeing with every word. — Elizabeth Bibesco

Old Journalism Quotes By Colum McCann

I'd been involved in journalism for a long time - my dad's a journalist, he's written many books, and when I was twelve years old I wrote reports on local football matches for the newspapers. — Colum McCann

Old Journalism Quotes By A. J. Jacobs

Journalism is an enemy of rationality. What makes news? The unusual and the spectacular, which by their nature distort reality and pervert our decisions. You read headlines like 15 KILLED IN PLANE CRASH IN WYOMING. You don't read headlines like ANOTHER 2,000 DIED OF HEART DISEASE YESTERDAY. This leads to the Availability Fallacy. Our lazy mind gloms on to the most vivid, emotional examples. When we think of danger, we think of hideous plane crashes or acts of terrorism, even though boring old cars kill eighty-four times more people. — A. J. Jacobs

Old Journalism Quotes By Jose Antonio Vargas

I grew up in newsrooms. I've been in newsrooms since I was 17 years old. Journalism has been like my church; it's been like my identity. — Jose Antonio Vargas

Old Journalism Quotes By Donald Newhouse

Andy Stasiuk was a newsman of the old school of front-page journalism - tough, knowledgeable, cynical, single-minded and fun. He covered the news as a happy warrior in an era of cutthroat editorial competition. — Donald Newhouse
