“Media is just a word that has come to mean bad journalism.”

“For all its faults, our political process is a good one, and the means by which much meaningful change is made. That is not a very fashionable view to hold, but as someone who has operated at senior levels in journalism and politics, around a decade in each, it is my respect for the media that has shrunk, and my respect for politics that has grown.”

“Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.”

“In the world of journalism, the personal Web site ("blog") was hailed as the killer of the traditional media. In fact it has become hailed as the killer of the traditional media. In fact it has become something quite different. Far from replacing newspapers and magazines, the best blogs-and the best are very clever- have become guides to them, pointing to unusual sources and commenting on familiar ones. They have become mediators for the informed public.”

“A word has power in and of itself. It comes from nothing into sound and meaning; it gives origin to all things.”

“War of words. We are influenced by the western media. But is what we hear the truth or just PR campaigns for governments?”
