If journalism is good, it is controversial, by its nature.

Opponents past and present have the same essential weakness about them: first they want to use you, then they want to be you, then they want to snuff you out.

I found in investigative journalism it is always best, if you have any language skills, not to admit them.

Well, I mean, the real attack on truth is tabloid journalism in the United States.

Journalism should be more like science. As far as possible, facts should be verifiable. If journalists want long-term credibility for their profession, they have to go in that direction. Have more respect for readers.

Intelligence agencies keep things secret because they often violate the rule of law or of good behavior.
