My view of social media is that it is a set of tools, not a religion.

You don't want to go around willy-nilly suing news organizations. That's probably self-defeating.

Everything is accessible to everyone all the time, and I think there are wondrous things to treasure with what the Internet has made available to journalists. But I think it's also had some effects that are less pleasant. It has chipped away at a sense of privacy and secrecy.

Choosing my favorite moment in journalism would be like picking a favorite among my children. I can't pick one favorite.

Twitter and Facebook are brilliant- tools, the journalistic uses of which are still being plumbed. They are great for disseminating interesting material. They are useful for gathering information, including from places that are inaccessible.

Liberation movements - prizing ends over means - are not always particular about their friends or scrupulous about their transactions.

Anyone with an Internet service provider can be a pundit or whatever they want.
