Journalism: an ability to meet the challenge of filling the space.
REBECCA WEST, attributed, The Literary Achievement of Rebecca West
We journalists are seducers, except it's not sex we're after (usually). It's sound bites and quotes and information.
ERIC WEINER, The Geography of Bliss
If you consider the great journalists in history, you don't see too many objective journalists on that list.
HUNTER S. THOMPSON, The Atlantic Monthly, Sep. 17, 1997
Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuckoffs and misfits -- a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage.
HUNTER S. THOMPSON, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
