Clearly Independent Journalists - Domestic Journalists -

Being Nervous, First Of All, Puts You At A Distinct Disadvantage, And If You've Really Prepared And If You've Really Thought Through How To Start The Conversation, Things Start To Fall Into Place. There Are Other Things I Get Nervous About, But Not That.

I Use Social Media Every Day. I Don't Have A Twitter Account, But Not Because I'm A Dinosaur About It. I Have Enough Of A Platform Here. People In My Position Who Do It Tend To Use It In A Promotional Way Or In A Hamstrung Way. I Look At Twitter All The Time As A News Tool Or For Cultural Conversation. I've Used It In My Reporting. It's Very Useful.

Disaster Can Take A Nation By Surprise, Slowly, And Then All At Once.

Not All Political Prisoners Are Innocents.

Prediction Is A Low Form Of Journalism.
