The Democratization Of News Is Fine And

I Often See Cases Of Internet News Where There's No Reconciliation For What's Gone Before And What's Newly Arrived. That Training For Me - Which Was Absolutely Brutal And I Was Terrified - Was So Important, Especially Later In Life When One Was Faced With Conflicting Stories And Conflicting Evidence.

If I Want To Spend The Rest Of My Life Reading One Day's Output Of Information, Which Is About What It Would Take, Ok Fine. But I Personally Prefer Calibration From An Aggregator Or Newspaper, Where The No. 1 Story Is One They Consider Important, [and] They're Usually Right.

Journalism Is Not Easy. It's The First Rough Draft. I Don't Think You Need To Wait Around Until You Have The Definitive Thing. You Record What's There; Don't Delude Yourself That This Is The Ultimate Historical View.

I Think A Lot Of Newspapers Have Lost Touch With That Sense Of Community, Which So Impressed Me As A Teenager When I Had To Knock On People's Doors.

My Wife [tina Brown] Co-founded The Daily Beast, So I Have No Hostility To The Web Or Internet. A Number Of Print Friends Of Mine Regard It As The Worst Thing That's Ever Happened, But I Don't.
