News and events. All those intellectuals, politicians or journalists who go around saying they are working for the common good, should give a concrete proof for the public welfare and commit suicide.
Carl William Brown
Between what matters and what seems to matter, how should the world we know judge wisely?
E. C. Bentley
The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.”
Carl Bernstein
In the past, to subjugate the people, the powerful used force, laws and religion; now, they also have football and television.
Carl William Brown
The one function that TV news performs very well is that when there is no news we give it to you with the same emphasis as if there were.
David Brinkley
All media exist to invest our lives with artificial perceptions and arbitrary values.
Marshall McLuhan
Nowadays in the world journalists sell themselves better than newspapers.
Carl William Brown
It’s amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.
Jerry Seinfeld
News is that which comes from the North, East, West and South, and if it comes from only one point on the compass, then it is a class ; publication and not news.
Benjamin Disraeli
Journalists? Ah yes, what Kierkegaard called the “Kitchen boys”, those characters intent on dredging the mud of society.
Carl William Brown
News is the first rough draft of history.
Philip L. Graham
No news is good news.
Ludovic Halevy
News reports stand up as people, and people wither into editorials. Clich?s walk around on two legs while men are having theirs shot off.
Karl Kraus
Listening to a news broadcast is like smoking a cigarette and crushing the butt in the ashtray.

I do not like to get the news, because there has never been an era when so many things were going so right for so many of the wrong persons.
Ogden Nash
Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated — serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.
P. J. O’Rourke
The conflict between the men who make and the men who report the news is as old as time. News may be true, but it is not truth, and reporters and officials seldom see it the same way. In the old days, the reporters or couriers of bad news were often put to the gallows; now they are given the Pulitzer Prize, but the conflict goes on.
James Reston
None loves the messenger who brings bad news.
Sophocles
To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit it and read it are old women over their tea.
Henry David Thoreau
Today’s news was published by word of mouth in the streets of ancient Athens.
Unknown Source
In the case of news, we should always wait for the sacrament of confirmation.
Voltaire
News is what a chap who doesn’t care much about anything wants to read. And it’s only news until he’s read it. After that it’s dead.
Evelyn Waugh
It is always the unreadable that occurs.
Oscar Wilde
