What's wan man's news is another man's throubles.

News is history shot on the wing. The huntsmen from the Fourth Estate seek to bag only the peacock or the eagle of the swifting day.

Nowadays truth is the greatest news.

No news at 4:30 a.m. is good.

A reporter is always concerned with tomorrow. There's nothing tangible of yesterday. All I can say I've done is agitate the air ten or fifteen minutes and then boom-it's gone.

If it's far away, its news, but if it's close at home, it's sociology.

Give to a gracious message An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell Themselves when they be felt.

Nobody likes the bringer of bad news.

To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea.

By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, [journalism] keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.
