“Jason Leopold’s News Junkie, an autobiographical look at Leopold’s accidental entrance into journalism, is a powerful piece that delves into one man’s misery and success.”

“Investigative superstar Jason Leopold spares no one, least of all himself, in this devastatingly accurate first-hand exposé. News Junkie provides the best account so far of how, and why, current American journalism has become so pharisaical, spineless, and detached from the truth”

“The value of a moment is immeasurable. The power of just ONE moment can propel you to success and happiness or chain you to failure and misery.”

“a sensation is always the same as a piece of news, and a piece of news never lives long.”

“[I] settled down with the Daily News and the Post, glad to be back with journalism where all murders are “brutal,” all prosecutors are “tough,” and all blondes are “attractive.” And any lawyer who cooperates with the reporter is “high-powered.”

“In the journal of my misery, each sorrow competes for the first place in length and strength.”
