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

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

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

A general truth is to have a good sense of humor. Roll with the punches of life's ups and downs. Laughing at yourself always helps.

Nobody wants a unitary voice of authority any more.

Over the years, I’ve worried that my directness could come off as brusque or my criticisms heard in an outsize way, especially by male colleagues. I sometimes wondered whether expressing even my mildest reservation reminded someone of a chastising mother or complaining wife.
