Broadcast Journalism Quotes

• Any good broadcast, not just an Olympic broadcast, should have texture to it. It should have information, should have some history, should have something that's offbeat, quirky, humorous, and where called for it, should have journalism, and judiciously it should also have commentary. That's my ideal.

• Frightening media messages...pervade the news business, which really ought to be called "the bad news business" for its preoccupation with disaster and destruction.
