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

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.

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.

We human beings are a lot more resilient than we often realize. Resilient and perseverant.

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

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

Nobody wants a unitary voice of authority any more.
