“我们每个人都处在一个很长的大厅中的一由一盏小灯照亮的圈子内。灯光只照亮大厅中的前后几步远,然后很快地减弱,在未来与过去的大片黑暗包围之中黯淡下来。
我们对于那些黑暗是好奇的…… 历史学,考古学,地质学和天文学给我们提供了几条通向遥远过去的狭窄光线,但只是时明时暗地照亮而已……要确定遥远事件中那些是巨大成就,那些是灾难,谁是英雄,谁是恶魔,都是困难的。”

“Journalism, if it is to deserve the name, is not about the quality of the camera, but about the journalist’s intuition, integrity, courage, inquisitiveness, analytic and expressive capabilities, and above all, the trust the journalist has earned among readers.
Good journalists discern compelling stories in events, cultivate and mobilize networks of sources, double check and triple check facts, develop reputations that can only be won by getting the story right week after week, year after year. ”
