The idea that women journalists bring a different taste in stories or sensibility isnt true.

What I hold dear is well-known to all of my colleagues. And, really, The Times is the kind of place, the greatest journalism doesn't just pop forth from our heads. It's, you know, a group of people, and the great ideas bubble up from the reporters to their editors and get to us.

You know the sting of losing or not getting something you badly want. When that happens show what you are made of.

I like the immediacy of blogs and the democratizing effects of letting millions of voices bloom on the Web.

I think as an investigative reporter I had tough standards, but I don't think of myself as a tough person.

In one's relationship with dogs and with a newsroom, a generous amount of praise and encouragement goes much better than criticism.

You know, a dog can snap you out of any kind of bad mood that you're in faster than you can think of.
