Journalism is a flawed profession, but it has a self-correcting mechanism. The rule of journalism is: talk to everybody.

Lawrence Wright

I am deeply interested in the progress and elevation of journalism, having spent my life in that profession, regarding it as a noble profession and one of unequaled importance for its influence upon the minds and morals of the people.

Joseph Pulitzer

Life is a mission, not a career. A career is a profession, a mission is a cause. A career asks, What's in it for me? A mission asks, How can I make a difference?

Sean Covey

This is a very proud moment for journalism. I think The New York Times and The Washington Post are genuine champions in this moment. The role that they are playing in democracy is the role that you hear about journalism playing in civics classes. Other people are doing great work, but the Times and the Post have really been leaders. The public is watching, and they are hungry. They know something is wrong, there's a lot of anxiety out there. There's a real sense that the mission of journalism is very clear.

Ezra Klein

Journalism is not just a cause, its also a wacky profession.

David Talbot

Journalism is not just a cause, it's also a wacky profession.

Journalism - a profession whose business it is to explain to others what it personally does not understand.

Alfred Harmsworth, 1st Viscount Northcliffe

Journalism: A profession whose business is to explain to others what it personally does not understand.

Lord Northcliffe

Anyone who does investigative journalism is not in it for the money. Investigative journalism by nature is the most work intensive kind of journalism you can take on. That's why you see less and less investigative journalism at newspapers and magazines. No matter what you're paid for it, you put in so many man-hours it's one of the least lucrative aspects of journalism you can take on.

Ethan Brown

The dirty little secret of journalism is that it really isn't a profession, it's a craft. All you need is a telephone and a conscience and you're all set.

Andrew Sullivan

Journalism has become a form of idealism. It is no longer, first and foremost, function, craft, service - it is mission.

Michael Wolff

Our mission is to help people discover and support great journalism. But something like Blendle, asking micropayments for journalism, hasn't been done before on this scale and with our broad support from media companies. So we want to do it well and listen very carefully to the feedback of our users first. That feedback from the early community is very important to us.

Alexander Klopping

Teaching and research are not to be confused with training for a profession. Their greatness and their misfortune is that they are a refuge or a mission.
