Attempting To Get At Truth Means Rejecting

We Always Talk About How Everyone Is Unifocal. You Can't Possibly Be Interested In Jazz And Beethoven. Of Course You Can. You Can't Both Be Reading A Newspaper And Be Online. Of Course You Can. We Shouldn't Be Obsessed With A Gun To Your Head, 'you Either Read A Newspaper Or Die!'

[the Web] Is Going To End Up Being A Tremendous Advantage, Providing We Can Work Out The Financial Structure. I Think We’ll See Newspapers Survive, Being Printed At Home... Or You’ll Have A Local Print Shop, So That Rather Than Waiting For The Newspapers To Arrive By Truck, Which Is 30 Percent At Least Of A Newspaper’s Cost, You’ll Go In And Push A Button, And It Will Take Your Dollar Bills Without Anyone Having To Be There. And It Will Print The Newspaper For You While You Wait. It Will Take Seven Minutes. There’s A Terrific Future For Print In My View And It Gives Me Great Heart.

I Think There's A Lot Of Benefit In Letting People Vent. When I Was On The Manchester Evening News, We Got 500 Letters A Day, And Part Of My Job As Editor Was To Edit Them.

I Wrote About Bosnia At The Time. Somebody Looked Out Their Window And Saw Gangsters Coming Down The Street And Doing Ethnic Cleansing. I Said That Was The Thing That Would Happen In The Future, Someone Phoning In What They Were Seeing On The Scene. Whether It's The Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, Drudge Report Or The Bbc, All Those Reports, You Have To Assume There's A Real Person [who] Has Credibility.
