News - communicating news and ideas, I guess - is my passion. And giving people alternatives so that they have two papers to read (and) alternative television channels.

If you want to judge my thinking, look at The Sun.

Most newspaper companies still have their heads in the sand, but other media companies are aggressive.

Journalists should think of themselves as outside the Establishment, and owners can't be too worried about what they're told at their country clubs.

There is so much media now with the Internet and people, and so easy and so cheap to start a newspaper or start a magazine, there's just millions of voices and people want to be heard.

Everybody at home speaks mandarin except me.

I was absolutely shocked, appalled and ashamed when I heard about the Milly Dowler case only two weeks ago.
