I think television often has dismissed younger people. They figure, well, they're not really watching news, that's not our audience.


Well, news is anything that's interesting, that relates to what's happening in the world, what's happening in areas of the culture that would be of interest to your audience.


So, yeah, I think it had a major effect. I think in franchising younger people, it was just an idea that's never been trotted out before, but it makes perfectly good sense.


So no one should rely on television either for their knowledge of music or for news. There's just more going on. It's an adjunct to the written word, which I think is still the most important thing.

Unless you're doing a feature piece, which is going to be longer, and you have more time to get into stuff.


Television's very dependent on images. That's not what news is.


Television's not going read stories to you.


Some of the most important stories don't lend themselves to television treatment.


It's gonna be short if it's news; put it at the top. Style's not an issue, just make it news.


I was in college for two years, and just hated it in the '60s.


It's not a good thing to be friends with people you're covering. There's just no point in doing it. It's tempting, but they're not going to consider you their friend anyway. They just know that you're somebody that can do something for them.


I know what the structure of the language is.


I don't find music being less important than, like, politics.


And you can't really cover people critically that you're friends with.


And the most important thing you can do is learn to edit yourself. And then go back and rewrite.
