Aldous Huxley
“In the field of mass communications as in almost every other field of enterprise, technological progress has hurt the Little Man and helped the Big Man. As lately as fifty years ago, every democratic country could boast of a great number of small journals and local newspapers. Thousand of country editors expressed thousands of independent opinions. Somewhere or other almost anybody could get almost anything printed. Today the press is still legally free; but most of the little papers have disappeared. The cost of wood-pulp, of modern printing machinery and of syndicated news is too high for the Little Man. In the totalitarian East there is political censorship, and the media of mass communication are controlled by the State. In the democratic West there is economic censorship and the media of mass communication are controlled by members of the Power Elite. Censorship by rising costs and the concentration of communication power in the hands of a few big concerns is less objectionable than State ownership and government propaganda; but certainly it is not something of which a Jeffersonian democrat could possibly approve.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited

Toni Morrison
“How long can news function as a palliative for despair and counter space for products? It is so frustrating and sad to open a newspaper and find the news literally at the edges, like the embroidered hem of the real subject � advertisement. The media spectacle must not continue to direct its attention to the manufacture of consent, rather than debate with more than two sides, to the reinforcement of untruths, and a review of what else there is to buy.”
Toni Morrison, The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations

Toni Morrison
“I suspect that a nonracist, nonsexist, educating press is as profitable as one that is not. I suspect that clarification of difficult issues is just as entertaining as obscuring and reducing them is. But it will take more than an effort of the will to make such a press profitable; it will take imagination, invention, and a strong sense of responsibility and accountability.”
Toni Morrison, The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations

C.A.A. Savastano
“The American people should not have their time wasted and should not be misinformed by the press. If they want to lie to us they should go into politics like everyone else does.”
C.A.A. Savastano

Adolf Hitler
“Una de las tareas primordiales del Estado y de la nación es evitar que este sector del pueblo caiga bajo la influencia de pésimos educadores, ignorantes o incluso mal intencionados. El Estado tiene por lo tanto la obligación de controlar su educación y oponerse al abuso. La prensa, ante todo, debe ser objeto de una estricta vigilancia, porque la influencia que ejerce sobre esas gentes es la más eficaz y penetrante de todas, ya que no obra transitoriamente, sino en forma permanente. En lo sistemático y en la eterna repetición de su prédica estriba el secreto de la enorme importancia que tiene. Jamás debe el Estado dejarse sugestionar por la cháchara de la llamada «libertad de prensa». Rigurosamente y sin contemplaciones el Estado tiene que asegurarse de este poderoso medio de la educación popular y ponerlo al servicio de la nación.”
Adolf Hitler, My Struggle

Henry David Thoreau
“The newspaper is a Bible which we read every morning and every afternoon, standing and sitting, riding and walking. It is a Bible which every man carries in his pocket, which lies on every table and counter, and which the mail, and thousands of missionaries, are continually dispersing. It is, in short, the only book which America has printed and which America reads. So wide is its influence. The editor is a preacher whom you voluntarily support. Your tax is commonly one cent daily, and it costs nothing for pew hire. But how many of these preachers preach the truth? I repeat the testimony of many an intelligent foreigner, as well as my own convictions, when I say, that probably no country was ever rubled by so mean a class of tyrants as, with a few noble exceptions, are the editors of the periodical press in this country. And as they live and rule only by their servility, and appealing to the worse, and not the better, nature of man, the people who read them are in the condition of the dog that returns to his vomit.”
Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays

John Sandford
“What the f-f-f... What's that supposed to mean?" the reporter sputtered. The TV cameraman behind him was laughing. TV people ranked radio people, so laughing was all right.
"What's 'f-f-f' supposed to mean?" Lester asked. He turned away and pointed to a woman wearing glasses the size of compact discs. "You."
"What precautions should women in the Twin Cities take?" She had an improbably smooth delivery, with great round O's, as though she were reading for a play.”
John Sandford, Eyes of Prey

Toni Morrison
“There is no way to answer the systemic distortions of the press.”
Toni Morrison, The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations

Toni Morrison
“Why are blacks singled out? Why are they not called Miamians or "local" ("As Hispanic presence grows, so does local anger")? Except when they are soldiers, blacks are never American citizens. Why? Because in media-talk we are not local, or general citizens - we are those whose financial security is fragile; those whose reactions are volatile ("anger" - not concern). If the reader knows the code, this headline's use of the term "local" (economically fragile American citizens) could very well be Miami's white working poor.”
Toni Morrison, The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations

“اتساءل دائما هل هي الصدفة التي جعلت اولى محاولاتي في مجال كتابة المقال الصحفي وانا مازلت تلميذا في سن مبكرة تكون رايا حول ما يجب ان تكون عليه البرامج الاذاعية لاجد نفسي بعد سنوات مدفوعا بكليتي نحو العمل الاذاعي

“President Trump’s ‘Reality TV� press conferences on the COVID-19 pandemic did not work for me.”
Steven Magee

Albert Camus
“La presse, si bavarde dans l'affaire des rats, ne parlait plus de rien. C'est que les rats meurent dans la rue et les hommes dans leur chambre. Et les journaux ne s'occupent que de la rue. (The press, so talkative in the case of the rats, were no longer speaking of anything. That's because rats die in the street and people die in their rooms. And the newspapers are only interested in the street.)”
Albert Camus, La Peste d'Albert Camus

“There is no room for discussing a creed, and mine is the freedom of press”
Aoun Ayman AL Haddad

“Galleys of press move the gallows of justice.”
Mantaranjot Mangat, Plotless

“The freedom of press ends when it is fair to some, and fearful to all.”
Mantaranjot Mangat, Plotless

Felix Gilman
“That's the true face of evil in this city," Olympia said. "The true modern monster works entirely through the disingenuous statement to the press.”
Felix Gilman, Thunderer

Ayu Welirang
“Menjadi wartawan yang netral, berarti telah berkontribusi dalam memberikan manfaat untuk khalayak. Saat ada spiral kebisuan di antara mereka yang minoritas karena tertelan pendapat mayoritas, maka tugas wartawan untuk mengangkat fanomena itu. Wartawanlah yang membingkai suatu kondisi masyarakat yang tidak tersuarakan, menjadi lebih terdengar.”
Ayu Welirang, Mata Pena

Anthony Hope
“Great men may become indifferent as to what the papers say about them; I had never attained to this exalted state of mind.”
Anthony Hope, Phroso

Marcel M. du Plessis
“Zaqar Publishing House, a beast of red brick and chipped plaster, protruded from the surrounding buildings like a broken branch in swamp muck. You could hear the whirring of the massive printing presses from the street. Soot and smoke coated the walls, making it look like a smudge. This was, of course, in the days before the paper’s façade had to yellow for it to survive.”
Marcel M. du Plessis, The Silent Symphony

P.V. Narasimha Rao
“The press. I believe that each one is as good as the best in the profession. However, their difficulty is that their job essentially lies in describing the way things go wrong.
Most reporters subconsciously believe that all ministers are nitwits, or ought to be if they're true to type.
Journalists relish the performance of ministers who mess up with wrong answers and cringe for publicity.”
P.V. Narasimha Rao, The insider

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“Too much freedom of the press is unhealthy for a democracy, I declared.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer

Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“Twenty-one months after her admission, Lockwood became the first woman to participate in oral argument at the Court. She next and last argued before the Court in 1906. She was then seventy-five. Using the skill she had gained over a thirty-year span in her specialty—pressing money claims against the United States—she helped to secure a five-million-dollar award for Eastern Cherokee Indians whose ancestral lands had been taken from them without just compensation.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, My Own Words

Lucy Parsons
“If the great body of the people have clamored for our comrades� blood, it was because they believed what the lying monopolistic press has said.”
Lucy Parsons

Lucy Parsons
“It is by the press we educate the public mind and link the people of most distant parts together in bonds of fraternity and comradeship. We can keep track of the work and accomplishments of our comrades in no other way, except by the medium of paper.”
Lucy Parsons

“Speakers for the Social Democratic party provided me with much food for thought. They attacked the whole capitalistic system, showed how its different units combined to exploit the producing masses to the nth degree, and how the distorted or suppressed news to protect this system, of which it was a part. Being loyal to the press, my first reaction to this denunciation was one of resentment, though I had to concede that some of the charges were true.”
Art Young, Art Young: His Life and Times

Steven Magee
“Mainstream media ignores the bulk of news releases.”
Steven Magee

Steven Magee
“Illegal none disclosure agreement? Time for a visit to the police and a press release!”
Steven Magee

Anthony Trollope
“Yes; we are becoming the slaves of a mercenary and irresponsible press, - of one single newspaper.”
Anthony Trollope, Framley Parsonage
