Quotes by Kin Hubbard

I would rather exercise than read a newspaper.

Quotes by Kim Alexis

Since news breaks on digg very quickly, we face the same issues as newspapers which print a retraction for a story that was misreported. The difference with digg is that equal play can be given to both sides of a story, whereas with a newspaper, a retraction or correction is usually buried.

Quotes by Kevin Rose

Digg is like your newspaper, but rather than a handful of editors determining what's on the front page, the masses do.

Quotes by Kevin Rose

In my very early days as a journalist, as a cub reporter on a local newspaper, I used to cover the district courthouse in Limerick city - all human life passed through that establishment, and my time there remains a source of inspiration.

Quotes by Kevin Barry

Quotes by Karen Thompson Walker

I don't take anything that I read in the newspaper at face value on either side - from anybody.

Quotes by Josh Hawley

If a newspaper is to be of real service to the public, it must have a big circulation: first, because its news and its comments must reach the largest possible number of people; second, because circulation means advertising, and advertising means money, and money means independence.

Quotes by Joseph Pulitzer

Well, the biggest Norwegian newspaper regarded this as an arrest, since they hadn't told us that they were coming and they brought me in. So the biggest Norwegian newspaper looked upon that as an arrest.

I was looking through a newspaper and it was an audition for 'Kids Say the Darndest Things,' so I tried out. One thing led to another and I appeared on 'The Rosie O'Donnell Show' and 'Oprah.'

Quotes by JoJo

I went back to the States and started at a small newspaper in Riverside County, California, covering the police; I was making $280 a week covering the police.

Quotes by Johan Huizinga

My degree was in education, but the idea of being a teacher lost out to being a reporter. I worked at a newspaper for a while, then went to New York and worked in PR at RCA and NBC, and at 'The United States Steel Hour,' a drama series.

Quotes by Joan Ganz Cooney

I wouldn't have launched 'Sharp Daily' without smartphones. Frankly, there's no reason for me to start another newspaper - it's a dying industry. But the smartphone is changing everything.

Quotes by Jill Lepore

The printed newspaper is a powerful showcase for news, opinion and advertising.

Quotes by Jill Abramson

I admit that I am hopelessly hooked on the printed newspaper. I love turning the pages and the serendipity of stumbling across a piece of irresistible information or a photograph that I wasn't necessarily intending to read.

Quotes by Jill Abramson

I think that a great newspaper is one that puts a real premium on digging to get the story behind the story.

Quotes by Jill Abramson

I've been writing since I was sixteen. At first, I wrote mostly short stories and poetry. The first thing I ever had published was a poem about a football game. It was printed in my local newspaper.

Quotes by Jerry Spinelli

I was an English major in college, took a ton of creative writing courses, and was a newspaper reporter for 10 years.

Quotes by Jane Green

Quotes by James Nachtwey

Many a good newspaper story has been ruined by over verification.

The Indian diaspora is not a capital-accumulating diaspora. The Indian diaspora is doctors, lawyers, professors. Or newspaper sellers. They are basically trade- or profession-oriented, and so they're not major investors in their home country.

Quotes by Jairam Ramesh

Quotes by Herbert Bayard Swope

George Orwell

The difference between a reporter, a newspaper columnist, a paid speaker, a television personality, a radio talk show host, a blogger, a movie producer, a publicist, and a political strategist, is growing less - and not more - distinct.

Quotes by George Packer

If I didn't understand a cartoon in a newspaper, I'd just turn the page.

Quotes by Gary Larson

For some reason, Superman seems to be held to higher standards on the subject of secret/super identities than other superheroes. No one ever says, 'Peter Parker was a nerdy kid.

Quotes by Floyd Abrams

My dad still collects newspaper clippings about me.

Quotes by Florence Pugh

My room is like an antique shop, full of junk, and weird stuff. There's a big sword in there. And a taxidermy bird, and a couple of birdcages. And a lot of newspaper cuttings. I used to have a weird thing about cutting out morbid headlines from newspapers, and collecting them. I was fascinated with drowning, which is kind of strange.

Quotes by Florence Welch

From that moment on, the newspaper became a highly lucrative investment for those with a talent for making money or for publishers wanting to gain a fortune.

Quotes by Ferdinand Lassalle

The newspaper offers something very different from Google's aggregators. It offers a value system, an idea of what matters in the world. Newspapers need to start articulating that value.

Quotes by Evgeny Morozov

I never wore a tie voluntarily, even though I was forced to wear one for photos when I was young and for official events at school. I used to wrap my tie in a newspaper, and whenever the teacher checked I would quickly put it on again. I'm not used to it. Most Bolivians don't wear ties.

Quotes by Elmer Davis

Quotes by Elaine Sciolino

For me, comedy is a day-to-day report on the human condition. It's what's happening right now. I get maybe 20 minutes of my act straight from the newspaper.

Quotes by Elayne Boosler

Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.
