As someone who has spent a lot of her career as an investigative reporter, I'll confess that a frustration of mine has always been that so much investigative journalism involves a dissection of events in the past.

The printed newspaper is a powerful showcase for news, opinion and advertising.

People often assume New York City is no place to keep a dog. This is certainly what my parents told me when I was growing up there. But I have found this not to be the case at all.

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

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

Nobody wants a unitary voice of authority any more.

I admit that I am hopelessly hooked on the printed newspaper. I love turning the pages and the serendipity of stumbling across a piece of irresistible information or a photograph that I wasnt necessarily intending to read.
