There aren't enough good journalists. There are too many who really weren't groomed to be reporters and, as a result, some of the reporting is shallow.

The future is electronic. It's radio, television and the Internet; it's not really newspapers anymore.

I think we'll always have newspapers, but they'll lose influence.

I think the greatest all-around athlete ever was Jim Brown. He played lacrosse, basketball and ran track at Syracuse. He played professional football for the Browns.

When I started at the Globe 40 years ago, there were seven newspapers in Boston and now there are only two. There were only three or four television stations in Boston and now there are a dozen.

I don't think there is enough educational programming, but unfortunately, television is built around advertising and those shows don't get the big ratings.

The one good thing about television is the money; you can make a lot more money than in newspapers.
