I'm a journalist. I've been a journalist ever since I was 18.
If anybody ever tries to do an investigative report on a journalist, much like the kind and the way a journalist would do on a public figure, have you ever seen a stuck pig? Because that's what the journalist looks like.
If you're a journalist - and I think, on some level, I'm a journalist, and proud to be a journalist, or a documentarian, however you want to describe it - part of what I do has to be the pursuit of the truth.
I dont think I ever wanted to be a journalist - I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.
I don't think I ever wanted to be a journalist - I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.
I never intended to be a journalist. Frankly, I don't think I ever was a journalist. I backed into it.
The one thing that shaped my life was when I was 15 or 16: I knew I wanted to be a journalist. And not just a journalist, but a journalist in the Middle East, and to go back to the Arab world and try to understand what it meant to be Lebanese.

I have been asking if I'm an activist or a journalist. And my answer is very simple. I'm just a journalist who asks questions.

To be a writer - once the ambition of every journalist - was to be the greater truth teller.
The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe. The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the grieves and shames of others.
I had been a journalist in Europe and then went to divinity school in the early 1990s, and came out as somebody who had the perspective of a journalist and was now also theologically educated.
Journalism has been very important for me - for a long time I made my living as a journalist, and it also serves as a source of ideas. Many of the things I have written I would not have written without the experience of being a journalist.
I wanted to be a lawyer. Then a journalist. Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist.
If you read the book, you're not a journalist. You're some impostor! No journalist actually does any work.
