“There was so much news. News that was forever breaking, that there was never time for context.”
― John Green, The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet

“Her [journalist] father always told his trainees: If one side says it's raining and the other says it's dry, it's not your job to quote both. It's your job to look out of the window and find out the truth.”
― Susie Steiner, Remain Silent

“I like to keep abreast of my ignorance”
― Arthur Miller, All My Sons

“The newspaper was always behind the news, not in front. You shouldn't ever go to the papers for information. They usually printed what they thought people wanted to see, and they had no explanation to give. It wasn't the king they saw. That wasn't the king at all. It was the king's shadow.”
― George Lamming, In the Castle of My Skin

“TIME Magazine probably publishes many facts, but since its founding in the early 1920's I have been on the spot eight or nine times when something that wound up as a news story in TIME happened. Not once—not once—did the TIME Magazine story match what I saw and heard.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Expanded Universe

“If the headline asks a question, try answering 'no'. Is This the True Face of Britain's Young? (Sensible reader: No.) Have We Found the Cure for AIDS? (No; or you wouldn't have put the question mark in.) Does This Map Provide the Key for Peace? (Probably not.) A headline with a question mark at the end means, in the vast majority of cases, that the story is tendentious or over-sold. It is often a scare story, or an attempt to elevate some run-of-the-mill piece of reporting into a national controversy and, preferably, a national panic. To a busy journalist hunting for real information a question mark means 'don't bother reading this bit'.”
― Andrew Marr, My Trade: A Short History of British Journalism

“To be successful as a journalist, you must be curious and have a yearning for learning facts.”
― Germany Kent

“Some events are accidents â€� only to some people â€� who do not know some facts.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Some seem to forget that I’ve worked with those on movies and television. I warn you. Television may be exciting, but always take what you watch or read with a grain of salt. The more extreme these people act, the more money they make. They don’t care about us. You should always do your own research using verified primary sources. Editorials or articles published can be exciting, but they are seldom the truth. This country will eventually be destroyed for the sake of a paycheck.”
― Ronald Reagan, Where's the Rest of Me? The Autobiography of Ronald Reagan

“There’s no news in a newsroom”
― Casey Cep, Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee

“People only ask 'Why?' when they receive bad news.”
― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“People only ask ‘Why?â€� when they receive bad news.”
― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“Economics- a story of pain, teaching us a lot of complicated but sound reasons why a great many nice things aren't possible.”
― Alain de Botton, The News: A User's Manual

“The news has the ability to define the agenda by leading the attention of an audience to what it believes to be the issues of importance.”
― Alain de Botton, The News: A User's Manual

“You shouldn't be able to tell what a reporter's point of view is. Their reporting should give the facts, not their opinions, and let you decide. We have lost this in journalism today.”
― Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Speaking for Myself: Faith, Freedom, and the Fight of Our Lives Inside the Trump White House

“Daily news reports of various crimes actually affirm and support the humanistic insistence that humans are essentially good. It is, paradoxically, the fact that we read of horrific things in the news on a daily basis that bolsters an abiding faith in humanity. Indeed, there is no greater evidence for the veracity of humanism than the daily news. How so? Simple: it is because the news reports on what is rare, what is unusual, what is out of the ordinary. That’s why murder and rape are headlines: because they are notable exceptions to otherwise decent, everyday human behavior. If humanity were naturally, intrinsically evil—if people’s default position were bad, immoral, unethical—then the newspaper would look very different. It would be replete with shocking, unbelievable headlines such as: ...“Couple Takes Morning Walk Every Day Around Their Neighborhood Without Incident!â€� â€� But we don’t see such headlines, because they are the mundane, all-too-expected stuff of cooperative, communal, daily human life.”
― Phil Zuckerman

“Make journalism the vanguard of information.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Constitution of The United Peoples of Earth

“In the great Age of Tech, journalism was clickbait, and Big Tech controlled the clicks.”
― Josh Hawley

“Breaking: There is a difference between the news and the truth.”
― Richie Norton

“Destruction is News, not Construction.”
― Ehsan Sehgal

“Neon signs flashed the word “NEWSâ€� in ironic yellow.”
― Marcel M. du Plessis, The Silent Symphony

“Find the best current news website which provide world level news.”

“The flags on their mics say they’re from different companies, but the plastic preparedness of their appearances makes them look like they came from the same machine.”
― Ian Kirkpatrick, Bleed More, Bodymore

“Because the battle for good does not make the front page news does not mean that there is less of it than what does make the front page news. In fact, we would be wise to understand that in our current cultural climate, its absence speaks to the power of its presence.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“It is my intention in this book to show that a great media-metaphor shift has taken place in America, with the result that the content of much of our public discourse has become dangerous nonsense.”
― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

“This perception of a news show as a stylized dramatic performance whose content has been staged largely to entertain is reinforced by several other features, including the fact that the average length of any story is forty-five seconds. While brevity does not suggest triviality, in this case it clearly does. It is simply not possible to convey a sense of seriousness about any event if its implications are exhausted in less that one minute's time.”
― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

“Stern reported that 51 percent of viewers could not recall a single item of news a few minutes after viewing a news program on television. Wilson found that the average television viewer could retain only 20 percent of the information contained in a fictional televised news story. Katz et al. found that 21 percent of television viewers could not recall any news items within one hour of broadcast.”
― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

“Siamo condannati a consumare immagini catastrofiche, sapendo benissimo che non possiamo farci niente. Quando il nostro cervello incappa in un'informazione ambigua senza poter intervenire, assumiamo con il tempo il ruolo di vittima. Il nostro istinto all'azione si affievolisce. Diventiamo passivi.”
― Rolf Dobelli

“Consumando notizie alterate gradualmente la struttura fisica del vostro cervello. Allenate le regioni deputate allo scorrimento rapido di informazioni brevi. E allo stesso tempo lasciate che si atrofizzino i circuiti elettrici specializzati nella lettura di testi lunghi e nella riflessione.”
― Rolf Dobelli

“Somebody is gonna think for you. And if it’s not you, then the best place to begin thinking for yourself is thinking about who that is.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
